Methane has a greenhouse effect 80 times worse than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, and emissions are skyrocketing even as we start reducing CO2. That makes UCF’s new hydrocarbon-capturing, sunlight-powered catalyst a very compelling idea. Researchers at the University of Central Florida’s Nanoscience Technology Center and Florida Space Institute say they’ve come up with
Container shippers are ordering vessels powered by methanol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it will take years for renewable methanol output to meet demand and for costs to fall. The first green methanol-fuelled container ship, owned by A.P. Moller-Maersk, sailed from South Korea in July. The number of such vessels is expected to exceed
A cargo ship fitted with giant, rigid British-designed sails has set out on its maiden voyage. Shipping firm Cargill, which has chartered the vessel, hopes the technology will help the industry chart a course towards a greener future. The WindWings sails are designed to cut fuel consumption and therefore shipping’s carbon footprint. It is estimated

High profile decisions at July’s Marine Environment Protection Committee will accelerate the International Maritime Organization’s decarbonisation ambitions for shipping, but a proposal of apparently smaller consequence could lay down a data marker for global emissions trading. Less convergence is apparent on carbon pricing. Proposals before MEPC 80 aim to incentivise greener fuels, with levy and
