HIF Global partners with Topsoe for eFuels facility in Texas; carbon-neutral gasoline

Green Car Congress

The plant will produce carbon-neutral fuel—enough to decarbonize more than 400,000 vehicles annually. eFuels are produced by combining green hydrogen made from renewable power and recycled carbon dioxide. The gasoline synthesis from methanol has been commercially proven in a 15000-bpd plant in Turkmenistan since 2019.

NASA’s New Earth Space Mission maps methane ‘super-emitters’

Green Car Congress

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is much more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. The instrument can also measure carbon dioxide. The cube (left) shows methane plumes (purple, orange, yellow) over Turkmenistan. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

BP Statistical Review finds global oil share down for 12th year in a row, coal share up to highest level since 1969; renewables at 2%

Green Car Congress

Coal’s market share of 30.3% Fossil fuels still dominated energy consumption with 87% market share, while renewables rose fastest but are still only 2% of the global total. Output grew rapidly in Qatar (+25.8%), Russia (+3.1%) and Turkmenistan (+40.6%), more than offsetting declines in Libya (-75.6%) and the UK (-20.8%).
