Amazon adopts green hydrogen for carbon neutrality

Amazon is persistently deepening its focus toward bringing down its carbon emissions to zero across its operations on the back of its shift to clean energy from fossil fuels. This is evident from its latest agreement with Plug Power, which says that the latter will supply green hydrogen with which Amazon would power its transportation

Kenoil to test biobutanol marine fuel

Singapore’s Kenoil Marine Services will begin testing biobutanol blends with its current engines later this year, using biofuel produced from a pilot production plant its partner had invested in, its director said in an interview with S&P Global Commodity Insights. The pilot plant – located in Johor, Malaysia – is expected to deliver its first

Hefring Marine develops AI tool to reduce fuel usage for maritime platforms

Artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven tools have been proving themselves crucial to tomorrow’s warfare. Apart from improving precision and lethality for military systems, those technologies can also help to reduce logistic efforts and fuel consumption of maritime platforms in addition to ensuring the safety of crew members.
