Crude palm oil is one of the more than ten renewable raw materials that Neste uses to produce a range of renewable products, including renewable diesel. Palm oil represents approximately 20% of Neste’s renewable raw material usage annually. The field work was conducted by Meo Carbon Solutions. Schematic of a belt filter press.

ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 29, 2020

The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. First, it contains very little sulfur.

Unlike a conventional internal combustion engine, a free piston engine does not have connecting rods and a crank shaft to govern each piston’s movement and convert the reciprocating action into rotary motion. Each piston is free to move along its axis under the action of linear forces including those due to combustion pressure.
