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

CMES to install air lubrication technology

China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES), the Shanghai-listed energy transport unit of China Merchants Group, has signed up to install air lubrication technology on up to six LNG carriers being built at Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company (DSIC). A deal with the London-based cleantech company Silverstream Technologies for four firm installations and two options will see the

KBR to collaborate with Giammarco-Vetrocoke for carbon capture technology

KBR has announced that it has signed a master license and engineering agreement with Giammarco-Vertrocoke S.R.L. for KBR to license its carbon capture technology globally. This carbon capture technology is well-proven, energy efficient, flexible, and can be integrated across the value chain for blue ammonia, petrochemical, and refining industries. KBR strives to create a better,

New technology developed by produce hydrogen expensive electrolysis

A Spanish scientist José Antonio G. I.  has developed a system that is able to generate and store hydrogen on-site from tap water without electrolysis. The system produces hydrogen on-site without expensive electrolysis. The prototype utilizes a water tank that is initially filled with water, ferrosilicon, and sodium hydroxide. The prototype consists of a water

Tata Steel and BHP to collaborate to study on low carbon technology

Tata Steel has signed an agreement with BHP to jointly study and explore low-carbon iron and steelmaking technology. Under the partnership, the Indian steelmaker and the Australian mining and metals company plan to reduce emission intensity through the use of biomass as a source of energy and the application of carbon capture and utilisation in
