Demand for natural higher than its production

Natural gas demand in major consuming countries stood in June at 104 percent of year-ago levels, but production was flat compared to 2021 levels, new data from the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI) showed. While US natural gas production has been rising in recent months alongside LNG exports, Russian gas production has plummeted since Russia

Solar-powered chemistry can be used to turn carbon dioxide, water into fuels  

According to an International study it is proved that solar-powered synthesis gas could reprocess carbon dioxide into fuels and useful chemicals. They have found that if we can generate syngas from carbon dioxide using solar energy, then we can use it to recycle and develop methanol and other chemicals and fuels. As a result of

Hygenco agrees with JSL to build green hydrogen facility

Hygenco India signed India’s first long-term off-take agreement with Jindal Stainless (JSL), one of the largest stainless-steel conglomerates globally. The first of its kind off-take agreement in India will see Hygenco Build-Own-Operate the green hydrogen facility for 20 years. It will also become the first multi-megawatt scale plant with long-term offtake in Asia to be

Cellula concludes demonstration missions of Solus-LR AUV

Cellula Robotics Ltd. Announced the successful completion of various demonstration missions using the hydrogen fuel cell powered autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), Solus-LR. The missions, executed in Vancouver’s Indian Arm inlet on July 15th, demonstrated the remarkable autonomous launch of a micro-AUV from Solus-LR while submerged and underway.  Following the launch, the micro-AUV surfaced and transmitted

NYK concludes contract for altering LNG-fueled tugboat to ammonia

NYK, the Japanese shipping firm, said it has concluded a contract with Keihin Dock Co., Ltd., an NYK Group company, to modify tugboat Sakigake to ammonia-fuel specifications. Sakigake, a tugboat currently fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and operated in Tokyo Bay by NYK Group company Shin-Nippon Kaiyosha Corporation, will be converted to operate on

Germany locks LNG supplies for two FRSUs

Germany has signed a memorandum of understanding with its top utilities to ensure the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for the two floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs). Under the deal with Uniper, RWE and EnBW subsidiary VNG, the country’s first two FSRU-based LNG import terminals in Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbuettel will be fully supplied

TVS Motors to make iQube’s hydrogen version

TVS Motor Company is working on a hydrogen-powered iteration of its popular electric scooter the iQube. The company is working on a scooter with two hydrogen “fuel” canisters mounted to the front downtube of a scooter’s frame. The design illustrations further reveal that a filler nozzle is located on the front apron, and a pipe

New LNG import infrastructure picks up pace in Europe

The countries across Europe to install new LNG import facilities in record time continues to pick up pace, with FSRUs now secured for deployment in a number of EU member states. The sharp fall in Russian pipeline imports – and the prospect of flows from Russia being cut further or halted completely – has led

Research says traditional hydrogen blending could damage gas pipelines

University College London researchers have said in a new study that the pumping of hydrogen into gas networks poses risks and requires a rethinking of usual blending techniques. The low molecular mass of hydrogen reduces the penetration of a side-branch flow and increases the buoyancy forces leading to stratification with high hydrogen concentrations on the

First hydrogen electric vessel in India likely to be delivered by April 2023

India’s first indigenous Hydrogen-fueled electric vessel is likely to be delivered by March-April in 2023, said Chairman and Managing Director of Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) Madhu S Nair. The construction of India’s first indigenous hydrogen-fueled electric vessel is a pilot project. The fuel cell will be produced by a Pune-based organization relying on Indian technology
