IME(I) and INA’s cooperation centre for national maritime technology

A Centre-of-Cooperation to address the growing need for national maritime technology advancement has been established between The Institute of Marine Engineers (India) and the Institution of Naval Architects (INA) at the IME(I) House Nerul on the 28th of January, 2023. The Centre was inaugurated by Prof. R.P. Gokarn, Retd. Prof. Head (NA & ME) &

Scientists launch less expensive carbon capture system

Scientists carve a path to profit from carbon capture by creating a system that efficiently captures CO2 and converts it into one of the world’s most widely used chemicals: methanol. The need for technology that can capture, remove and repurpose carbon dioxide grows stronger with every CO2 molecule that reaches Earth’s atmosphere. To meet that

New tech to generate green hydrogen using biomass

Professor S Dasappa from IISc has developed a technology to produce hydrogen gas from biomass through a sustainable method. Here’s how it can help fulfil India’s growing hydrogen demand. Within the portals of the Indian Institute of Science — one of the top-ranked universities in the country, a one-of-a-kind research technology has emerged. It is

VAXA converts clean energy into sustainable nutrition by using algae

VAXA, an Iceland-based company, converts clean energy into sustainable nutrition by using algae. Their groundbreaking vertical-farming technology lets microalgae grow indoors, completely independent of the weather conditions outside. Embedded with pink glowing lights (UV LEDs), the sealed and bio-secured module enables all-year-round production of high-quality, pathogen-free, fresh algae with a consistent composition. Focused on minimal

Cambridge University researchers develop artificial leaf to turn carbon dioxide into fuel

A team of researchers at Cambridge University developed an artificial leaf that can float on water and absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from air and turn the water into fuel like hydrogen and syngas. The researchers tested their 100-square-centimetre artificial-leaf device outdoors on a river. The device, depending on the catalyst used, either splits water

Efforts to convert carbon dioxide into bulk chemicals and liquid fuels

A team led by Prof. Yuhan Sun and Gao Peng from Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI), Chinese Academy of Sciences reported recent efforts by their group aimed at developing high-performance heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of CO2 and H2 in producing bulk chemicals (methanol, lower olefins, aromatics) and specific-range hydrocarbons (gasoline and jet fuel) with

ABS to initiate study on adoption of advanced nuclear propulsion for ships

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded class society ABS a contract to research barriers to the adoption of advanced nuclear propulsion on commercial vessels. The $800,000 research project will address challenges to adopting new reactor technology in commercial maritime applications at a time where a host of companies around the world are looking
