China develops first vehicle-mounted liquid hydrogen system

China has successfully developed its first 100-kilogram class vehicle-mounted liquid hydrogen system, marking a new breakthrough in the country’s transportation sector, according to its developer China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). As one of the core components of liquid hydrogen heavy trucks, the new system is fully domestically produced and will help hydrogen-powered heavy

Surge in demand for LNG bunkering: Drewry

Drewry projects more than 1,000 LNG-fuelled vessels to be in service by 2027. However, development of the bunkering infrastructure appears to be lagging in comparison to the growth in fleet as well as the potential demand, which could take a leap of 30 million tonnes by 2028 under our high-case scenario. The latest key investments,

Horizon achieves breakthrough in new AEM Technology

After close to 20 years of scientific research into fuel cell and electrolyser membranes, Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies is announcing a scientific breakthrough in Anion Exchange Membrane technology. Green hydrogen costs need to drop significantly for the global community to meet its decarbonization targets while at the same time competing effectively with fossil fuel alternatives.

The first alcohol engine to revolutionize mobility

Researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) have just been able to get huge success in fuel cells (FC) technology recently. Shown which way to go is they have devised a highly-effective ethanol-based fuel cell that could turn on its ears all transportation and mobility as we know them. In contrast to most fuel

Tata Steel achieves B24 biofuel voyage from Australia to India

Tata Steel achieved a significant milestone by conducting its first full-laden voyage powered by B24 biofuel blend from East Coast Australia to India. As informed by the company, the MV Cape XL, loaded with coal, departed from Gladstone port on April 17, 2024, and reached Kalinga International Coal Terminal Paradip Private Ltd. (KICTPPL) port on

Scientists synthesised material that can absorb Greenhouse Gases

Scientists from the UK and China have synthesised a porous material that has the capacity to shrink our carbon footprint. The material, described as “cage of cages” by researchers, can absorb common greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide with strong affinity and hold it. It is made in two steps with reactions assembling triangular prism building

First carbon removal plant in world comes online in Iceland

Carbon removal startup Climeworks. Dubbed Mammoth, the project is now the world’s biggest plant to suck carbon dioxide from the air. The plant is a critical step in the race to remove billions of tons of carbon a year by mid-century, a move that will likely be needed to keep global warming to relatively safe

FIS proposes hydrogen as fuel for fishing vessels

UK-based fisheries technology company Fisheries Innovation and Sustainability (FIS) has released a report on the possibility of utilising hydrogen as fuel for fishing vessels in the UK. Developed in partnership with local naval architecture firm Macduff Ship Design, and with support from Marine Fund Scotland, the research provides detailed vessel specifications, and – by drawing
