Infrastructure Net Zero aligns private-public collaboration

Seven private sector peak bodies and three federal agencies have announced the launch of Infrastructure Net Zero as a joint initiative to co-ordinate, collaborate and report on Australian infrastructure’s pathway to net zero. This collaboration recognises the shared responsibility of decarbonisation and the opportunity to create an aligned and effective use of collective time, resources,

Is white hydrogen energy-intensive?

White hydrogen is the newest hydrogen denotes hydrogen occurring naturally in reservoirs in the Earth’s crust as a free gas not combined with other elements. Its presence has been known for a long time. But no one believed the reservoirs were numerous enough or large enough to bother extracting. That thinking has changed, and there

DOE funds biomass-to-hydrogen projects

The US Department of Energy on Aug. 17 awarded $34 million to 19 industry- and university-led research projects that will advance cutting-edge technology solutions for clean hydrogen. Several of the projects address biomass-to-hydrogen technologies. The selected projects will focus on developing technologies that could help produce clean hydrogen at lower cost and with less energy;

Turning plastic waste into biofuel for future energy needs

The future of energy is an issue that has received a great deal of attention in recent years, particularly due to growing concerns about the environmental impact of traditional energy sources.

Railways sanctions work with carbon-neutral growth strategy

In a step towards low carbon transition to adopt a carbon neutral growth strategy, Indian Railways has awarded an ambitious infrastructure project worth Rs 210 crore for creation of 411 washing/pit lines across the country. Indian Railways has implemented provision of 750 volt power supply for maintenance of Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) rakes at washing/pit

Solar catalyst captures methane to create hydrogen

Methane has a greenhouse effect 80 times worse than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, and emissions are skyrocketing even as we start reducing CO2. That makes UCF’s new hydrocarbon-capturing, sunlight-powered catalyst a very compelling idea. Researchers at the University of Central Florida’s Nanoscience Technology Center and Florida Space Institute say they’ve come up with

Shippers now preferring green methanol to cut emissions

Container shippers are ordering vessels powered by methanol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it will take years for renewable methanol output to meet demand and for costs to fall. The first green methanol-fuelled container ship, owned by A.P. Moller-Maersk, sailed from South Korea in July. The number of such vessels is expected to exceed

NYK trials biofuel along with Asahi Shipping & Kobe Steel

Japanese shipping heavyweight Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) in cooperation with its subsidiary Asahi Shipping and compatriot steel production major Kobe Steel has completed a biofuel ship-to-ship bunkering operation on the bulk carrier Sunrise Serenity. The vessel was supplied with biofuel by Toyota Tsusho Marine Fuels Corporation and consumed biofuel on its route to the
