NYK Line invests in waste-to-biofuel company

Green Car Congress

which has developed its own integrated subcritical-water organic-waste power-generation system (ISOP) system, which decomposes organic substances using subcritical-water-treating technology and ultimately produces green energy products such as biofuels. The products can be reused as green energy products such as bio-coal, biogas (e.g.,

Samsung Heavy and Seaborg to develop floating nuclear power plant combined with hydrogen and ammonia plants

Green Car Congress

Since the fuel is chemically stable and the fission products are short-lived, this waste is radiologically similar to radioactive hospital waste and can be handled using conventional methods. The remaining fuel salt will be mixed into new CMSR fuel at the fuel supplying facility.

Rolls-Royce makes Duisburg container terminal climate-neutral with mtu hydrogen technology

Green Car Congress

The largest container terminal in Europe’s hinterland is currently being built on the former coal island, once a transshipment point for bulk cargo. The waste heat is used for process heat or for heating buildings in and around the port. It will not only set new standards in cargo handling, but also in climate-friendly energy supply.

The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

“At the same time, it’s becoming apparent that alternative-fuel solutions we’re looking at have big drawbacks, and that producing these fuels will take a lot of green power that will be needed to replace coal and gas on shore. The feasibility study with Fincantieri will guide how the two companies develop the technology for marine use.
