Oslo’s decarbonization journey

The fight against climate change has had an active demand; Decarbonization, or reducing carbon emissions from human activity. The increase in global temperatures threatens the world. This is mostly caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Decarbonization is imperative because it is the only way to slow down or reverse this trend,

Airbus partners with hydrogen consortium for aviation decarbonisation

Airbus has proven to be one of the leaders when it comes to decarbonizing aviation, and its efforts are now reaching New Zealand. A new consortium established in the country is planning to transform Kiwi flights by focusing on green hydrogen. Air New Zealand unveiled multiple collaborations with the same goal. It wants to sport

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

‘We are making this transition for a better world’

Dr Sanjay C Kuttan, Chief Technology Officer, Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) in an exclusive interview with Future Fuels, throws light on the energy transition challenges in maritime industry and   the efforts being made by GCMD for the decarbonisation. Q. What is Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD)? What does it do to help

Wartsila to deliver first dedicated methanol fuel supply system

The technology company Wartsila has developed a dedicated fuel supply system for methanol, MethanolPac, as interest grows in the methanol pathway to decarbonisation. Combined with the recently introduced Wartsila 32 Methanol engine and the company’s well-proven retrofit and system integration capabilities, MethanolPac enables Wartsila to deliver methanol-capable fuel and power systems across a wide range

Is green ammonia fit to decarbonise shipping?

Fuels such as liquefied natural gas, methanol and hydrogen are being considered to decarbonise the shipping industry. But some experts believe green ammonia also has potential due to its unique makeup. Green ammonia, or e-ammonia, is produced by combining nitrogen from the air with green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable electricity-powered electrolysers that split

Ammonia as a storage solution for future decarbonised energy systems

Storing large volumes of energy for prolonged periods of time in a transportable form can significantly assist decarbonized energy and power systems. Specifically, apart from offering the possibility for connecting energy sources with consumers, periodic and seasonal transportable storage can balance the energy system at times when climatic conditions are unfavourable. This could allow for

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

Mixing biofuels and VLSFOs might lead to stability/compatibility issues

Aderco, a fuel treatment technology specialist with roots originating from the maritime industry, is in the midst of conducting comprehensive tests on biofuel oxidation and its compatibility with Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) material. “Biofuels, at the moment, is shipping’s most credible and cost-effective means towards decarbonisation,” states Philippe Lecloux, Aderco Group Head of
