HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

The remaining carbon dioxide is stored in the tank and reused in onshore methanol production. According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), maritime transport is responsible for more than 3% of the total carbon emissions in the European Union. In 2019 alone, emissions reached 144 million tonnes of CO 2. © Fraunhofer.

Alstom and MOL to explore use of hydrogen technologies for rail transport in Hungary

Green Car Congress

The Coradia iLint trains have run more than 200,000 km with zero CO 2 emission in passenger service in Germany and Austria and has been successfully tested in the Netherlands. The battery is used to store braking energy, to boost acceleration and for auxiliary supply. Operating these trains requires hydrogen refueling stations.
