University of Bath scientists working on SMFCs for green energy

Scientists at the University of Bath are involving the microorganisms in the soil to produce electricity that could one day help decontaminate polluted landscapes. A team has already used clean technology to help remote communities in Brazil purify their water supply. They are soon to launch a start-up to bring soil microbial fuel cells (SMFCs)

World’s first carbon neutral golf club now in Singapore

Climate-friendly aviation is a long way off

Switching to sustainable fuel is also key to the government’s aim to reach “jet zero” flying by 2050. But the Royal Society concludes there is currently no single, clear alternative to traditional fuel. The trade body for UK airlines said the sector was committed to the 2050 target and that sustainable fuels would be a

Methane emissions from energy sector reached record high

Global methane emissions from the energy sector approached record highs last year, despite an industry environment that made capture of the greenhouse gas cost-effective, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The report  said methane emissions from the sector — including from oil, gas and coal — rose to 135 million

Ørsted building commercial production facility for carbon-neutral marine fuels

Danish energy company Ørsted is building Europe’s largest commercial production facility for carbon-neutral marine fuels in northeastern Sweden. At the heart of the FlagshipONE plant is a technology package from Siemens Energy comprising four proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers with a total capacity of 70 megawatts, as well as the plant-wide electrification and automation systems,

Demand for green jobs increasing in India: Foundit

Wärtsilä and Shell to work on methane slip project

Wärtsilä is part of a consortium that has secured European Union funding to develop solutions minimizing methane slip from marine engines. The project, called Green Ray, will develop on-engine technologies for low-pressure dual-fuel engines – both 2- and 4-stroke – as well as a novel aftertreatment concept. These solutions will be advanced to a high

South Korea to use technology to achieve Netzero goals

South Korea has outlined its strategy to achieve carbon neutrality in the industrial sector by focusing on technology solutions, with an aim to cut 120mn tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Representative firms from the four major carbon-emitting industries — chemicals, steel, cement , and semiconductor/displays — formed a consortium as part of
