IHS: continued legislative focus on pollutants to drive sensor market for internal combustion engines

Green Car Congress

The global market for sensors used in internal combustion engines (ICE) is on the road of steady growth for the next few years, propelled by increasing utilization in engine management and exhaust aftertreatment, according to a new report from IHS Technology. IHS projects that sensor shipments for ICEs will top 1.34 billion in 2013.

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

Green Car Congress

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.

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. Moving from current Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to LNG does reduce GHG emissions. Source: thinkstep.

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

Green Car Congress

The SPEG process extracts all carbon from the waste feedstock, removes all particulates and acid gases, and produces no toxins or pollution. It not only solves our air quality and climate challenges by producing pollution-free hydrogen. That’s why our partnership with SGH2 is so important. This is game-changing technology.
