KLM, SkyNRG and SHV Energy announce project to build European plant for sustainable aviation fuel: DSL-1

Green Car Congress

This is an important step for the industry to accommodate the need for carbon emission reduction on the one hand, and the increasing demand for sustainable aviation fuel on the other. The facility will run on sustainable hydrogen, which is produced using water and wind energy.

Vattenfall may provide hydrogen for Preem large-scale biofuel project

Green Car Congress

Preem’s objective is to produce three million cubic meters (793 million gallons US) of renewable fuel yearly by 2030, which would account for the bulk of the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in the Swedish transport sector. Vattenfall can provide hydrogen gas required for the production of drop-in biofuels.

The world’s longest land and subsea interconnector just came online

Baua Electric

High wind generation outputs in the UK and Denmark are unlikely to happen simultaneously, so surplus energy will be transmitted through the interconnector to where the level of demand is higher.

CE Delft Study Finds Lower Highway Speed Limits Could Result in Significant Reductions in CO2 from Road Transport; Encouraging Modal Shifts and Land Use Changes

Green Car Congress

Carbon dioxide emissions from road transport in the Netherlands could be reduced by 30% if motorway speed limits in the Netherlands were set at 80 km/h (50 mph). Fuel consumption of a car increases at higher speeds, the main reason being that with increasing speed the wind resistance increases exponentially.
