The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

The shipping industry has been trying to cut its carbon emissions for years, and with little to show for it. Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion.

Co-Electrolysis of CO2 and H2O for the Production of Liquid Fuels

Green Car Congress

In May, the Lenfest Center and Risø DTU hosted a one-day conference—“Sustainable Fuels from CO 2 , H 2 O, and Carbon-Free Energy”—addressing technologies that can be used to recycle CO 2 into carbon-neutral liquid hydrocarbon fuels using renewable or nuclear energy. The co-electrolysis process was featured in several of the talks.

These massive construction projects are intended to help China meet its goal of going carbon neutral by 2060. The first power plant using NuScale’s technology is set to start generating electricity in 2029 at the Idaho National Laboratory, as part of the Carbon Free Power Project. Laptops will have to follow sometime in 2026.
