ABS grants Alfa Laval the marine industry’s first approval in principle (AIP) for firing boilers with methanol

Green Car Congress

Maritime classification society the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has granted Alfa Laval the first marine approval for operating boilers on methanol. Straight tubes connect the water and steam drums directly, which ensures safe circulation with no risk of overheating and subsequent tube burnout. Source: Alfa Laval.

STEAG and thyssenkrupp planning joint green hydrogen project

Green Car Congress

In a first step, this hydrogen is to substitute part of the carbon in the existing blast furnaces, later on it is to be used in new direct reduction plants. The connection to the extra high-voltage grid ensures the supply of green electricity for the electrolysis; large-scale battery systems ensure grid stability.

Veolia launches largest project to produce bio-methanol from pulp mill waste

Green Car Congress

As part of this cooperation, Veolia will build a crude methanol refinery in connection with Metsä Fibre’s Äänekoski bioproduct mill. The €50-million investment is supported by a grant from the Finnish ministry of economy and employment. Veolia Group designs and provides solutions for water, waste and energy management.

Five Cool Tech Demos From the ARPA-E Summit

Cars That Think

South 8 Technologies Conventional Li-ion batteries use liquid solvents, such as ethylene and dimethyl carbonate , as the electrolyte. When it’s cold, the carbonates thicken, which lowers the power of the battery. They can also freeze, which shuts down all conductivity. Phoenix Tailings —a startup based in Woburn, Mass.—extracts

KIST team develops membrane reactor system to produce pure H2 from ammonia with high productivity

Green Car Congress

The steam carrier presents similar membrane reactor performance to that of noble gases, and the water reservoir used for steam generation acts as an ammonia buffer via scrubbing effects. —Park et al. Liquid ammonia (hydrogen storage density per volume: 108kg-H 2 /m 3 ) is capable of storing around 1.5 Jo Young Suk from KIST.
