Suiso Frontier, world’s first liquefied hydrogen vessel completed voyage

A ceremony to mark the completion of the world’s first maritime transport of liquefied hydrogen, including its loading and unloading has been held in Kobe, Japan. The demonstration voyage by the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier, Suiso Frontier, proved that an international liquefied hydrogen supply chain is possible, marking a significant step towards the utilization

Radiation – A major overlooked source of natural gas generation in shales

A substantial fraction of shale gas – potentially more than 25% in some regions – has been produced by radioactive decomposition of organic matter, a mechanism that had been dismissed as unimportant, researchers claim. They believe the discovery could prove crucial for monitoring emissions near fracking sites to ensure that the potent greenhouse gas methane

Porsche invests on synthetic fuel start-up

Porsche is putting its money where its mouth is, investing $US75 ($104) million into a synthetic fuel startup company. Porsche already put up $US22 ($31) million into the Chilean startup HIF Global. The Haru Oni is in the testing phase and is already producing a small amount of efuel in Chile. The process of making

Mitsubishi to join hands with Shell to produce green hydrogen

Mitsubishi Corp. plans to collaborate with Shell PLC in producing green hydrogen via the development of major offshore wind farms in Europe. The plan is expected to create 400,000 tons of green hydrogen, a type of renewable energy that does not produce carbon dioxide, annually by 2030, accelerating the global push toward decarbonisation. Hydrogen is

Storage of energy is an impediment on path to renewables adoption in India

India is home to 63 of the 100 most polluted cities in the world and continues to rely on diesel generators for backup energy. While the current renewable energy market is driven by traditional solar players with limited energy storage capabilities, the new renewable energy utility norms necessitate power producers to supplement five percent of
