This collaboration will leverage Entropy’s proprietary modular post-combustion carbon capture technology and Methanex’s manufacturing expertise to utilize a portion of the captured

Tata Steel launches carbon bank to transform CO2

Private steel major Tata Steel recently launched a carbon bank, a virtual repository through which carbon dioxide will become a value-creating asset for future usage. CO2 is widely recognized as a harmful substance emitted due to the use of various fossil fuels in industry and transportation. The steel industry, in particular, often relies on coal

Suzuki trials sustainable marine fuel

SUZUKI Motor Corporation’s subsidiary in the US, Suzuki Marine USA, will participate in a project aimed at promoting the widespread use of sustainable fuel for recreational boating.

CO2-to-methanol conversion improved with catalyst-support

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a team of interdisciplinary scientists tripled the yield of methanol in the catalytic hydrogenation reaction of carbon dioxide by introducing hydrides into the catalyst support material. The researchers say the higher yield is “due to the direct participation of surface hydrides in the reaction, and the modified electronic

CO2 next project for fluid CO2 storage and handling enters FEED phase

Co2next, the open-access terminal project for temporary storage and handling of liquid CO2 in the Maasvlakte area in Rotterdam, is entering the FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) phase. Shell and TotalEnergies have joined this collaboration, which was fronted by Gasunie and Vopak up to this point. The terminal will house liquid CO2, which is supplied by

Höegh Autoliners secures fuel savings and long-term CII compliance

Hanwha and Accelleron have performed an engine part load optimization (EPLO) for Höegh Autoliners supporting long-term energy efficiency for its 7,850 CEU (Car Equivalent Units) car carrier Höegh Detroit. The success of the project to improve the vessel’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating has led to an order for EPLOs on a further seven vessels

Jakson Green wins NTPC order to produce 4G ethanol

Jakson Green said it has bagged an order from state-owned NTPC for setting up a plant to produce 4G ethanol from flue gas. The proposed plant at Lara in Chhattisgarh will produce 10 tonnes per day (TPD) of 4G ethanol from flue gases emitted from power plants, a company statement said. Using the latest carbon

OCC technically feasible, but commercial uptake relies on industry collaboration

Onboard carbon capture (OCC) is attracting interest within the shipping industry, providing shipowners with the opportunity to continue operating on conventional fuels while reducing emissions. However, according to DNV’s latest whitepaper “The potential of onboard carbon capture in shipping”, its success depends on collaboration between regulators, policy makers, industry stakeholders, class, and suppliers.  With decarbonization targets
