Researchers at the University of Adelaide announced that they made clean hydrogen fuel from seawater without pre-treatment. Demand for hydrogen fuel, a clean energy source that only produces water when burned, is expected to increase in the coming years as the world continues to pivot away from fossil fuels. The findings could eventually provide cheaper
What will happen if the natural-gas industry carries through with its plans to build a lot more infrastructure for shipping liquefied natural gas (LNG) around the globe? The world will be much more likely to blow past safe climate limits, according to a report from research group Climate Action Tracker. The U.S. is expected to
A consortium led by Honeywell met recently to launch a European Clean Aviation project that will develop a new generation of hydrogen fuel cells for the aviation industry. Project NEWBORN will involve multidisciplinary collaboration between 18 partners from 10 European countries to develop an aerospace-qualified megawatt-class fuel cell propulsion system powered by hydrogen. Green hydrogen,
Union Minister for Heavy Industries Mahendra Nath Pandey inaugurated “Towards Panchamrit” to drive the country towards cleaner mobility. Towards Panchamrit is an effort to promote adoption of “Panchamrit” which is 5 clean fuels – Hydrogen, Ethanol, Bio Diesel, Gas and Electric Vehicles. Towards Panchamrit, the Conference & Exposition on schemes for promotion and development of
Founded by Kishan Karunakaran, the Coimbatore-based Buyofuel is an online B2B marketplace for trading biofuel-based commodities that has earned clients like the TVS Group, ITC, UltraTech Cement, JSW Steel, and more. In 2008, entrepreneur Kishan Karunakaran established a biodiesel manufacturing unit, where he commercialised one of the earliest second-generation biodiesel production technologies in the world,
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
Japan’s Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), has completed a conceptual study for an ammonia bunker ship in collaboration with Japanese energy major Inpex. The shipbuilder stated that it used its knowledge of ammonia carriers to advance conceptual considerations for a highly flexible vessel with sufficient tank capacity, ship maneuverability, and bunkering equipment
The difficulties of shipping liquefied hydrogen have been highlighted in a new report from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which shows how a safety issue arose on the maiden voyage last year of the Susio Frontier, the world’s first and only liquefied hydrogen (LH2) carrier. The failure of an incorrectly-fitted electrical solenoid valve led to
Cornell will assist the Environmental Defense Fund and the National Dairy Development Board of India – the world’s largest dairy producing country – in a project to help its smallholder farmers reduce methane output and produce milk efficiently. India is home to 300 million cattle and milk-producing buffaloes, and 85 million smallholder dairy farmers. In
OCI N.V. has partnered with Unibarge to develop Europe’s first dual-fueled methanol propelled bunker capable barge, which will be in service in the Port of Rotterdam. The Port of Rotterdam is the largest seaport in Europe with approximately 30,000 visiting seagoing vessels and 100,000 inland vessels per year. The deployment of the retrofitted barge is
