ArcelorMittal, LanzaTech and Primetals to build €87M commercial-scale waste-gas-to-ethanol plant

Green Car Congress

The resulting bioethanol can cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80% compared with conventional fossil fuels. Today, this waste gas stream is either flared or used to heat and power the steel mill. LanzaTech’s technology, however, recycles the waste gases and ferments them with a proprietary microbe to produce bioethanol.

The importance of considering non-exhaust traffic emissions; the role of EVs

Green Car Congress

Regulatory regimes seeking to reduce emissions from transport have largely focused on tailpipe emissions—i.e., 2013 found that the ratio of non-exhaust to exhaust particles is strongly increasing in the last two decades, due to exhaust emission reductions. Further, a 2013 review by Denier van der Gon et al. earlier post ).

New LNG inland shipping vessel and integrated shipping concept

Green Car Congress

Working in combination, these lead to fuel savings and emissions cuts. Bodewes Binnenvaart was at that time starting to develop a low emissions concept for inland waterway shipping and the QaGroup was exploring using LNG as an alternative fuel. A typical ship engine runs most efficient at a load of 80% of its full power.
