BNEF, Snam, IGU report finds global gas industry set to resume growth post-pandemic; low-carbon technologies for long-term growth

Green Car Congress

This trend was already underway before the pandemic, due to cost-competitive gas in key sectors including power, industry and transport, and major regions including Europe, North America and Asia. Low-carbon gas. The development of an international hydrogen market could also accelerate adoption. —Jon Moore, CEO of BNEF.

Aramco and Stellantis collaboration indicates eFuel compatibility with 24 European engine families produced since 2014 (Euro 6)

Green Car Congress

Low-carbon eFuel is a drop-in synthetic fuel made by reacting CO 2 , captured either directly from the atmosphere or from an industrial facility, with renewable hydrogen. We are exploring all solutions to reinforce our ambitious strategy of becoming a carbon net zero company by 2038.

Synhelion raises CHF 22M (US$23.6M) to support scaling of solar fuel production

Green Car Congress

The funds were primarily provided by existing investors and selected new strategic investors, including Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS). The thermochemical splitting of CO 2 and water in a two-step redox reaction yields carbon-neutral fuels. This ultra-clean solar fuel closes the carbon cycle. Solar Upgrading.

Wärtsilä in US customer collaboration to test hydrogen blended fuel as a step towards decarbonized power plant operations

Green Car Congress

The project supports WEC’s ambition to reduce the CO 2 emissions from its electric generating fleet by 60% by the end of 2025, and by 80% by the end of 2030 from 2005 levels, and to be net carbon-neutral by 2050. Measurements of the engine’s performance will be made throughout the testing. In addition to the A.J.

EEA: small increase in EU’s total greenhouse gas emissions in 2017, with transport emissions up for the fourth consecutive year

Green Car Congress

Less coal was used to produce heat and electricity but this was offset by higher industrial and transport emissions, the latter increasing for the fourth consecutive year. Emissions from international aviation increased substantially as a result of higher demand and consumption of jet kerosene. Source: EEA.
