Navigator CO2 to provide ~600k TPA of CO2 as a feedstock for ultra-low carbon Infinium eFuels

Green Car Congress

Heartland Greenway system map Infinium eFuels are created using CO 2 that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere and renewable power-derived green hydrogen. Ultra-low carbon eFuels contain no sulfur and are cleaner-burning than petroleum-based fuels.

Continental Aerospace Technologies finalizing HVO testing for use in CD-100 engine series

Green Car Congress

HVO is a renewable and carbon-neutral fuel alternative. This biofuel is produced from vegetable oils, using hydrogen as a catalyst instead of methanol. In addition to vegetable oils, this premium quality fuel product can be produced from tallow and used cooking oil.

Renewable wood-based biofuels for shipping

Green Car Congress

The ReShip project, led by the Paper and Fibre Research Institute (PFI) with R&D partners Aston University (UK) and NTNU (Norway), is developing technology for producing a cost-competitive pyrolysis-oil-based multi-component fuel which meets the performance requirements of marine diesel engines.

DHL, Shell and Grundfos Bio-LNG pilot for road freight delivers 85% CO2 savings over conventional diesel

Green Car Congress

This corresponds to the emissions of more than 89,900 km driven by a diesel truck and represents 85% of CO2 savings compared to a traditional diesel engine. 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.

DOE TEF project finds US can eliminate petroleum and reduce GHG by more than 80% in transportation by 2050; less use, more biofuels, expansion of electricity and hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Using less fuel in vehicles. Adoption of advanced vehicle technology such as electricity and hydrogen-based drivetrains can further reduce liquid fuel needs despite increasing travel demand. While new fuel types require new infrastructure, the share of infrastructure cost within total fuel costs is very small (1.5-3%),

Ford Europe leading project investigating DME and OME1 as low carbon, near zero particulate fuels; power-to-liquids pathways using CO2

Green Car Congress

(OME1 is made from methanol on a commercial scale and has a cetane number of 38; it can be mixed with additives to produce OME1a diesel fuel (CN 48).). The comparative figure for diesel is 113 g/km CO 2.). DME burns in the diesel engine without producing soot and offers the basis for extensive NO x reduction inside the engine.
