SHV Energy and UGI International, a subsidiary of UGI Corporation, leading distributors of off-grid energy, intend to launch a joint venture to advance the production and use of Renewable Dimethyl Ether (rDME), a low-carbon sustainable liquid gas, to accelerate renewable solutions for the LPG industry.
Infinium Electrofuels, which are produced from carbon dioxide and renewable power, can be dropped into Amazon trucks with no engine modifications as an immediate replacement to petroleum-based fuel. The clean burning electrofuels will be produced for Amazon at one of the first electrofuels production facilities, located in Texas.
At the current pace of research and development, replacing gasoline and diesel with renewablefuelalternatives could take some 131 years, according to a new University of California, Davis, study using a new sustainability forecasting approach based on market expectations. The forecast was published online 8 Nov.
Neste, the world’s leading producer of renewable diesel, has opened four new fueling stations in northern and central California, providing greater accessibility to 100% renewable diesel. The fueling stations are open 24/7 and provide a seamless and quick customer experience. billion gallons of fossil diesel.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) released findings from a new project—Transportation Energy Futures (TEF)—that concludes the United States has the potential to eliminate petroleum use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 80% in the transportation sector by 2050. Transportation Energy Futures Project.
Electrofuels provider Infinium and comprehensive carbon management company Navigator CO2 entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and long-term relationship for Navigator to deliver 600,000 tons per annum (TPA) of biogenic carbon dioxide from its Heartland Greenway system to a future Infinium facility for the production of electrofuels (eFuels).
Qatar Airways, Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) and Qatar Petroleum (QP) will jointly carry out engineering, economic analysis and move into the development of renewable biojet fuel that will also look into ways for production and supply, with the support of Airbus. Earlier post.)
A team of biologists and engineers modified Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 (TIE-1) so that it can produce a biofuel using only three renewable and naturally abundant source ingredients: carbon dioxide, solar panel-generated electricity and light. We hope that it can be a steppingstone for future sustainable solar fuel production.
Volpe Center, to accelerate commercial availability of alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) renewable drop-in aviation fuel. million announced by the FAA to help advance alternative, environmentally-friendly, sustainable sources for commercial jet fuel. at an ICAO sustainable alternativefuels workshop in October.
LPG already provides our customers with a cleaner rural energy choice to the high-carbon fuelalternatives many are dependent on in off-grid areas. In addition, biopropane is a great opportunity for SHV Energy to lead the LPG business towards a more sustainable future. Biopropane means this option will become even cleaner.
Production of CTL has a large carbon footprint, releasing more than twice the lifecycle greenhouse gases of conventional petroleum fuels. However, with the rise in energy prices that began in 2008 and concerns over energy security, there is renewed interest in the conversion technology, the report notes. —Chen et al.
Associate Professor Akshat Tanksale from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Monash University and co-corresponding author, says OME (oxymethylene ethers) are among a number of fuelalternatives that are attracting increasing attention for their net-zero carbon emitting properties.
Because firms are able to bank credits over time, anticipated high costs in the future may lead to higher costs in the present before any constraints bind on the industry. Several groups have studied potential future compliance scenarios under the LCFS including Boston Consulting Group (2012) and ICF International (2013).
According to current legislation, member states must ensure that renewable energy accounts for at least 10% of energy consumption in transport by 2020. Commenting on the vote, European environmental NGO Transport & Environment noted that the lack of a mandate creates further uncertainty on the future of biofuels in Europe.
(The comparison to the electric vehicle is based on estimates which factor in the CO 2 emissions resulting from fuel production, with the DME-powered vehicle figure calculated from the use of renewable energy to generate the DME fuel, and the electric vehicle figure calculated from electricity generated from renewable resources.
By investing not only in sustainable fuel but also in fleet renewal, engine retrofitting, and efficiency projects, we tackle the impact of the logistics supply chain. We are happy to have partners at our side who share our vision and join us on the journey towards a sustainable future. —Uwe Brinks, CEO DHL Freight.
Policies to entice consumers away from fossil-fuel powered vehicles and normalize low carbon, alternative-fuelalternatives, such as electric vehicles, are vital if the world is to significantly reduce transport sector carbon pure-emissions, according to a new study. —David McCollum.
Recently, the Energy Resources Center made headlines by saying the EPA’s shift on the RenewableFuel Standard (RFS) would equal adding 1 million more passenger vehicles on the road. It’s also a political lightning rod given the stagnation of fuel consumption matched with accelerating ethanol blending. by Doug Williams.
Immediately noticeable in Tesla’s 2023 Impact Report was the idea that a sustainable future is within reach. As could be seen in the 2023 Impact Report highlights , the entire Tesla ecosystem is designed to displace fossil fuelalternatives.
The publication was prepared jointly by the International Energy Agency’s Renewable Energy Division (RED) and Energy Technology Policy Division (ETP). Increase research efforts on feedstocks and land availability mapping to identify the most promising feedstock types and locations for future scale-up.
The fossil fuels are highly significant in the global economy. The worlds’ energy requirements are mostly meet by these petroleum fuels. Do we have enough fuels for the future use? Unrestrained consumption of these fuels leads to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. Why fuel cells are important?
Here in New York City, where we have a population density that supports a mass transit system, most of our fossil fuel use is to power our buildings. In any case, when we switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy, we reduce but do not eliminate environmental damage. The current technologies work but have limits.
Advanced biomass-derived transportation fuels that use a domestic, renewable feedstock provide a secure alternative that reduces the risks associated with petroleum dependence, they said. Enhanced reliability of fuel supplies through diversification to advanced drop-in biofuels is also essential to sustain the U.S.
Action in the transportation sector will be buttressed by an acceleration of adding more clean, affordable, and reliable renewable energy to displace fossil-fuel fired electricity generation and scaling up new options such as hydrogen and renewable gas for hard-to-electrify end uses.
In one way, the program in question—the RenewableFuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. The RFS, in essence, mandated that the blend powering engines in the nation’s official service vehicles run on a certain amount of renewablefuel. Meanwhile, in a future U.S.
Hydrogen and fuel cells remain decades from meaningful deployment, even their supporters concede. For the foreseeable future, ethanol remains dependent on corn. Meanwhile, in a back to the future moment, T. Other automakers are watching closely, with announcements heralding their own electric intentions.
