Rolls-Royce and Robert Allan present world’s first LNG-powered shallow-water push boat

Green Car Congress

Rolls-Royce and Canadian vessel designers Robert Allan have developed the world’s first shallow-water push boat powered by LNG natural gas engines. It is an independent evaluation of the design concept within a given framework and states that the design is fundamentally feasible and there are no fundamental implementation concerns.

HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

In this concept, the ship is refueled with methanol at port. The methanol is mixed with water, then evaporated by applying heat and fed into the preheated reactor, where the mix of methanol and water is converted into hydrogen and CO 2. The system’s technical centerpiece is the reactor. © Fraunhofer.

Mercedes-AMG 2L, turbo four-cylinder pushes out up to 421 hp, 500 Nm

Green Car Congress

This means that the turbocharger and the exhaust manifold are now positioned at the rear, on the side of the firewall when viewed from behind. Furthermore, the new arrangement allows much improved air ducting with shorter distances and fewer diversions - both on the intake and exhaust side. Turbocharger.

Perspective: The Role of Offsets in Climate Change Legislation

Green Car Congress

For offsets to be credible, a ton of CO 2 -equivalent emissions from an offset project should equate to a ton reduced from a covered emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe. This concept is often called “additionality.” This objective presents challenges because many offsets are difficult to measure. Additionality.

First, an electric potential will be applied to water to simultaneously produce acidity and alkalinity. Travertine will develop the design basis for a 1 ton/day CO 2 removal system to demonstrate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of this concept, taking it from proof-of-concept to field-ready.
