BP eyes Europe, Japan markets

Gobal energy giant BP is optimistic it can export green hydrogen to Europe and Japan by the end of the decade from a repurposed, 70-year-old oil refinery south of Perth. Having completed a study into the feasibility of developing a large-scale energy hub in Kwinana, the company is now eyeing the production of green hydrogen

Shipping industry needs to adopt blue ammonia to achieve fast decarbonisation

The shipping sector needs to adopt blue ammonia as part of the bunker fuel mix to achieve timely decarbonisation, and substantial growth of CO2 storage infrastructure could support this in the coming years, according to a study by Denmark’s Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping. Some shipowners are expecting methanol to play a
