The role of green data centers is becoming increasingly crucial in the present energy transition context. One promising solution that is rapidly gaining traction is the use of cellulosic ethanol, a renewable energy source derived from plant matter. This innovative approach is shaping the future of green data centers, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional
The increasing field of biofuel production from algae ponds is witnessing a significant boost, thanks to the transformative capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT). As the world seeks sustainable and eco-friendly energy alternatives, the integration of IoT in biofuel production is emerging as a game-changer, enhancing efficiency, productivity, and environmental sustainability. Algae, a renewable
Alternative Fuels Insight (AFI) platform data presented by DNV showed that a total of 62 alternative fuel vessels were ordered in July. The month also witnessed another record for methanol ships announced, with 48 ships added to the AFI platform, including 15 retrofits. According to the AFI data, orders for LNG-fuelled ships continue at a
Indian state retailers’ gasoline and diesel sales fell in July from the previous month as monsoon rains reduced mobility and construction work, according to preliminary sales data. Fuel demand in India, the world’s third-biggest oil importer and consumer, typically falls during the four-month monsoon season beginning in June as parts of the country are affected
What are India’s options for transition to net zero emissions (NZE) by 2070? A report by the Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF) Task Force addressed two questions. What is the minimum quantum of demand to reach net zero emissions? Second, what is the most cost-effective way of producing the minimum demand? Mathematical modelling by IIT Bombay
Oman and Etihad Rail Company (OERC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jindal Shadeed Iron & Steel (Jindal), a prominent integrated steel producer in the GCC, to establish a sustainable end-to-end transport logistics solution. The MoU aims to facilitate the transportation of up to 4 million tons of raw materials and finished products
CCS Wuhan Rules and Research Institute has issued the first approval in principle (AiP) certificate for methanol bunkering ships to Zhejiang Seahead Ship Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. in China. According to CCS, The methanol bunkering ship certificated is a competitive brand of new energy ship independently developed by Seahead. With a maximum capacity
Royal Den Hartogh Logistics said it recently collaborated with green methanol producer OCI Hyfuels to fuel a newly constructed ship with MD97, a methanol fuel blend, at berth by truck. The ship incorporates a new engine type designed specifically to run on MD97. MD97 is a blend of 97% methanol with 3% of additives designed
The conventional oil and gas exploration spending is expected to top $50bn this year, the highest level since 2019, but discovered volumes are plummeting to new lows. Norwegian energy intelligence firm Rystad Energy has estimated that 2.6bn barrels of oil equivalent (boe) were found in the first half of 2023, down 42% compared to 4.5bn
Washington State University researcher’s new and novel method to extract lignin could help spin wheat straw into cash. Lignin, a super tough biomaterial has been a problem in biofuel production. Lignin produced using the new method was color-neutral, odorless and homogenous, an advance that could make this carbon-neutral material a more viable candidate for development
