Lifecycle study finds LNG can reduce shipping GHG emissions by up to 21%

Green Car Congress

The study also confirms that emissions of other local pollutants, such as sulfur oxides (SO x ), nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM), are close to zero when using LNG compared with current conventional oil-based marine fuels. The Life Cycle GHG Emission Study is a long-awaited piece of the “LNG as a marine fuel“ puzzle.

SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. The facility will process 42,000 tons of recycled waste annually.
