A new carbon capture method turns co2 into solid carbon ‘in an instant’

A new decarbonisation technology developed by RMIT University researchers in Australia instantaneously turns CO2 into solid carbon, a press statement reveals. The team claims their method is commercially viable and that it could soon be deployed in aid of global efforts to reduce the ongoing effects of the climate crisis. A ‘radically more efficient’ method

Scientists devise a cheaper way for producing green hydrogen

As the race is on for ample clean energy sources to mitigate climate change, hydrogen is being seen as a promising source of renewable energy. Green hydrogen emits no carbon, but there is a downside: its production remains complex and costly. Scientists worldwide are working on more efficient and affordable ways of producing no-carbon hydrogen

Tidal Transit reduced fuel usage and emissions with catalytic hydrogen technology

Tidal Transit’s offshore wind energy crew transfer vessel Kitty Petra was fitted with the Ecomotus EcoPro catalytic hydrogen system in 2020, and Commercial Director Leo Hambro believes that the reductions in vessel fuel consumption and CO2 and NOx emissions clearly demonstrate that the system should be widely adopted by the offshore energy marine sector, saying:

Rolls-Royce is building the world’s largest airliner engine, the Trent Ultrafan

Buried deep inside the Rolls-Royce plant at Filton in Bristol is a bare brick room where the Olympus engines that powered Concorde and the Pegasus fans for the Harrier jump jet were put through their paces. Now it is testing a generator the size of a washing machine drum designed to burn green fuels and

Climate tech got an enormous cash infusion in 2021

In 2021, the world got a glimpse of the impacts of climate change, from extreme heat waves on the West coast of the U.S. to unprecedented flooding in New York City. But the world also saw an increased response: more funding went to companies working on climate solutions than in any previous year. As of

Indian railways likely to go for hyperloop and hydrogen fuel-based train-set

Hyperloop technology, lightweight aluminium coach, articulated/tilting bogey and hydrogen fuel-based train-set are slated to be a part of the next Union Budget plan as the national transporter is firming up proposals to make the train journey faster and comfortable for passengers. According to the plan, the railways is exploring possibilities of acquiring hyperloop technology for

Rolls-Royce to provide mtu hydrogen tech for Duisburg container terminal

Technology company Rolls-Royce has been contracted to ensure a climate-neutral energy supply at the container terminal currently under construction at the Port of Duisburg, Germany. Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems business unit will provide its mtu hydrogen technology for this purpose, in order to supply the future terminal with electrical energy and heat in a sustainable manner.

Retrofitting to existing industrial infrastructure crucial to achieve netzero

In a world where climate change is increasingly influenced by industrial emissions, decarbonizing the industrial sector becomes the immediate priority to phase out CO2 emissions from the use of fossil fuels. Against this backdrop, retrofitting carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies to existing industrial infrastructure will become crucial to reaching netzero by 2050, according

Battery or fuel cell trucks? A real-world comparison at two waste management firms

Fuel-cell or battery-electric trucks to collect waste? Both types are increasingly finding their way into municipal waste disposal companies. When asked around in Freiburg and Munich where one waste management company is currently testing two fuel cell refuse collection vehicles, the other an all-electric roll-off tipper. Freiburg’s waste management company (ASF) has worked with various

Stationary engines of MAN Energy Solutions ready for green future fuels

In continuously developing the range of services for its portfolio of four-stroke engines, MAN Energy Solutions enables its customers to exploit a multitude of synthetically manufactured, climate-neutral fuels in the operation of ships or power plants. Already today, MAN engines using power-to-X fuels such as synthetic natural gas (SNG) can be operated totally climate-neutrally. MAN
