Global Ship Lease invests in carbon capture technology

London-headquartered containership owner, Global Ship Lease, is investing in a carbon capture initiative led by Norway’s Aqualung Carbon Capture, an innovator in membrane carbon dioxide capture and separation technology, alongside other industry leaders in shipping, energy generation and infrastructure, and lithium production. Global Ship Lease, with a fleet of 65 ships, said it was invited

Anglo American introduces biggest mine-haul truck in the world

Replacing the diesel trucks with the hydrogen model could keep ‘700 cars’ worth of carbon dioxide emissions out of the atmosphere. Mining giant, Anglo American has unveiled the world’s biggest hydrogen-powered mine haul truck. The massive truck is three stories tall and weighs in at over 220-tonnes. The truck is said to have entered operations

Enertech Fuel Solutions to invest in biogas business

Enertech Fuel Solutions, a small and medium enterprise based in Ahmedabad, plans to invest $7.79 million in its compressed biogas (CBG) business. “The investment will be made next year for a pan-India presence in the CBG market,” informs Badri Mahapatra, the firm’s promoter. He adds, “Foraying into the CBG sector is a natural outgrowth of

Researchers found catalytic carbon dioxide reduction to methanol

Researchers at Stockholm University have for the first time been able to study the surface of a copper-zinc catalyst when carbon dioxide is reduced to methanol. The results are published in the scientific journal Science. A better knowledge of the catalytic process and the possibility of finding even more efficient materials opens the door for

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

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

Breakthrough in converting carbon dioxide into fuel using solar energy

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has shown how solar power can convert carbon dioxide into fuel, by using advanced materials and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy. The breakthrough could be an important piece of the puzzle in reducing the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in the future. The study is published
