Microsoft funding new technology for carbon removal

Microsoft agreed to fund a carbon capture technology that uses the natural properties of limestone to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, the startup firm Heirloom Carbon announced. The tech giant will purchase about $200 million worth of carbon credits — equivalent to 315,000 tons of carbon — over 10 years from Heirloom to

Era of Hydrogen-Fueled Vehicles to begin…World-class technology

Amid the fierce competition throughout the globe to develop hydrogen mobility technologies to achieve carbon neutrality, a new technology for a 2-liter class hydrogen-fueled engine (a passenger car hydrogen engine) capable of running entirely on hydrogen has been developed for the first time in the country. The joint research team led by Principal Researcher Young

Role of technology in algae biofuel production

Algae, a group of photosynthetic organisms, have been identified as a promising source of biofuel due to their high oil content and rapid growth rate.

Wipro partners with Pure Storage to drive sustainable technology

The goal is to empower customers to drive a more sustainable data center footprint by providing more efficient strategies to minimize the environmental impact.

BPCL and BARC collaborate for electrolyser technology

The oil marketing firm will utilise a third-party venture to set up the electrolyser-making facility, whereby the alkaline electrolyzers thus produced will likely cost 20 to 30 percent less than the current rate of about $800 per kW. BARC's technology enables the production of cost-effective electrolysers, with the potential for reducing the cost led by technological and economic innovations.

ABS to develop emergency response methods to ammonia leaks

In a pioneering safety development, ABS is using advanced modeling and simulation technologies to develop emergency response methods to assist ports and crew in responding to ammonia leaks or spills. It is the first step towards a comprehensive and fast ammonia release response system, capable of predicting the behavior of an ammonia plume and directing

First hydrogen Chinese train can touch top speed of 160 km/h

China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) unveiled its latest green low-carbon technology achievement-a hydrogen-powered urban train. The hydrogen-powered urban train released this time has a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour and can achieve an ultra-long range of 600 kilometers. The front end of the train adopts a fully enclosed design, and the streamlined

Honeywell’s new technology to turn CO2 into lower-carbon fuel

Honeywell International Inc announced a new technology to produce lower-carbon aviation fuel from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide captured from industry, which can help cut greenhouse gas emissions from aviation, one of the hardest sectors to electrify and decarbonize. Sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, is typically made using biomass-based feedstocks such as soybean oil and

South Korea to use technology to achieve Netzero goals

South Korea has outlined its strategy to achieve carbon neutrality in the industrial sector by focusing on technology solutions, with an aim to cut 120mn tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Representative firms from the four major carbon-emitting industries — chemicals, steel, cement , and semiconductor/displays — formed a consortium as part of

India’s first hydrogen train to be ready by December 2023

Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that India will have its first hydrogen train designed and manufactured locally by December 2023 on the Kalka-Shimla historic circuit. Although hydrogen-powered train technology is still in its infancy with only a few countries using it on a limited basis, India’s early adoption is regarded as a significant step toward
