Equinor contracts for first green-ammonia-fueled supply vessel; 2MW SOFC

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 24, 2020

Norway-based energy company Equinor has contracted with Eidesvik Offshore for the Viking Energy supply vessel, which is being retrofitted to make it capable of covering long distances fueled by carbon-free ammonia. This is the first time an ammonia-powered fuel cell will be installed on a vessel. The Viking Energy.

Next 10 report finds California must increase GHG reductions to 4.9%/year through 2030 to meet target

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 23, 2020

This year’s Index finds that 2018 greenhouse gas emissions—the latest year for which data are available—rose overall for the first time since 2012, driven in part by increases in the power and commercial sectors. Data from the report illustrate that California now must reduce emissions by an average of 4.9%

ICCT paper suggests new supersonic aircraft unlikely to comply with existing environmental standards for subsonic aircraft

JULY 17, 2018

A noise assessment concludesd that emerging SSTs are likely to fail current (2018) and perhaps even historical (2006) landing and takeoff noise standards. On average, the modeled SST burned 5 to 7 times as much fuel per passenger as subsonic aircraft on representative routes. Results varied by seating class, configuration, and route.
