Danish energy company Ørsted is building Europe’s largest commercial production facility for carbon-neutral marine fuels in northeastern Sweden. At the heart of the FlagshipONE plant is a technology package from Siemens Energy comprising four proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers with a total capacity of 70 megawatts, as well as the plant-wide electrification and automation systems,
In their first major marine deployment, Bloom Energy fuel cells demonstrated a significant increase in electrical efficiency on a luxury cruise ship built by Chantiers de l’Atlantique (CdA). Bloom and CdA have also announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on developing future multi-MW installations on board marine vessels. The 150kW
Metropolitan cities saw a substantial increase in green job postings.
Wärtsilä is part of a consortium that has secured European Union funding to develop solutions minimizing methane slip from marine engines. The project, called Green Ray, will develop on-engine technologies for low-pressure dual-fuel engines – both 2- and 4-stroke – as well as a novel aftertreatment concept. These solutions will be advanced to a high
Imabari Shipbuilding announced that Kobe Steel has started selling a low-carbon steel which it will use for a cape due for delivery next year to an unspecified owner. Using hot briquetted iron in its blast furnace, Kobe Steel is able to reduce CO2 output by more than 20%. Last year Maersk committed to netzero steel
AET has agreed to work with Petco Trading Labuan Company Ltd (PTLCL) to explore the potential deployment of a zero-emission aframax tanker that will be capable of running on green ammonia.

Methanex Corporation (Methanex) and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) have completed the dual-fuel vessel Cajun Sun’s first-ever net-zero voyage fuelled by bio-methanol. The voyage is an example of how Methanex and MOL are collaborating to demonstrate the viability of methanol as a marine fuel with a pathway to net-zero emissions. The Cajun Sun, operated by
As part of the next set of blending programme, the Indian government is looking at making it mandatory for city gas distribution companies to blend compressed biogas (CBG) into natural gas and a strategy for the same has been deployed. The petroleum ministry has started working on a strategy to start CBG blending into natural
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
Independent marine fuel supplier Peninsula is commencing the supply of biofuels at its hub ports in the Strait of Gibraltar. It has recently received International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) regarding physical supply operations in Gibraltar, Algeciras, and nearby ports. The ISCC permits the supply of biofuels from feedstocks that have fully traceable, sustainable, and
