New requirements for managing biofouling on international vessels arriving in Australia will begin on 15 June 2022. The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment is working closely with Australian and international shipping industries and recreational vessel operators on a number of initiatives. Operators of all vessels subject to biosecurity control will be required to
“Green hydrogen manufacturers can set up renewable energy capacity by themselves. We will give them free transmission until 2025 and banking for 30 days,” Power Minister R.K. Singh said. Banking allows renewable energy producers to transmit unused electricity to the grid, which can subsequently be used whenever needed, he said, adding that transmission charges would
The global steel industry is poised to shift from coal to hydrogen. With enough high-quality iron ore and low prices for hydrogen, India could play a pivotal role in global steel decarbonisation given its large and growing economy. Recent announcements by global steel companies in India highlight how important the nation’s steel technology path will
India’s gasoline demand rose on the month in the first half of February as mobility increased after Omicron-related restrictions eased, while diesel consumption also increased. Gasoline use rose by 7% on the month to 585,000 b/d in the previous fortnight, according to state-controlled refiners that account for around 90pc of India’s fuel sales. Average driving
Fuels such as liquefied natural gas, methanol and hydrogen are being considered to decarbonise the shipping industry. But some experts believe green ammonia also has potential due to its unique makeup. Green ammonia, or e-ammonia, is produced by combining nitrogen from the air with green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable electricity-powered electrolysers that split
Global power leader Cummins Inc. announced today that it is expanding its industry-leading powertrain platforms, leveraging a range of lower carbon fuel types. As the industry’s first unified, fuel-agnostic engines, these platforms will use engine blocks and core components that share common architectures and will be optimized for different low-carbon fuel types. “Getting to zero
MAN Energy Solutions has signed a cooperation agreement with Hyundai Global Services (HGS) – after-sales division of shipbuilder and engine maker, Hyundai Heavy Industries Co.- Ltd. (HHI) – to deliver its Overridable Power Limitation (OPL) solution to MAN B&W-branded low-speed engines manufactured by HHI’s Engine & Machinery Division, HHI-EMD. Effective immediately, the agreement is set
It was billed as a fuel for the energy transition. An incredibly dense, colourless fossil fuel that can be conveniently transported in ships around the world like crude oil, and which produces around half as much carbon as coal when regasified and burnt. Advocates of liquefied natural gas (LNG) predicted a final fossil fuel ‘gold
The oil and gas industry is promoting the use of “low-carbon” hydrogen derived from methane that is potentially dirtier than burning fossil gas for energy, scientists and analysts have told Climate Home News. Observers say the European Commission’s decision to classify gas as a transition fuel in its green investment list leaves the door open
Reliance Industries Ltd.’s plan to repurpose its $4-billion (about Rs 30,000 crore) gasification assets for clean energy will offer the Mukesh Ambani-controlled conglomerate an opportunity to rope in more investors, according to analysts. India’s biggest company by market value will use syngas—a product of coal gasification—to make blue hydrogen at a competitive cost of $1.2-1.5
