DHL, Shell and Grundfos Bio-LNG pilot for road freight delivers 85% CO2 savings over conventional diesel

Green Car Congress

This corresponds to the emissions of more than 89,900 km driven by a diesel truck and represents 85% of CO2 savings compared to a traditional diesel engine. The fuel alternative is being implemented to improve Grundfos’ linehaul between its production sites Bjerringbro, Denmark and Longeville-Les-Saint-Avold, France.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Denmark is planning a hydrogen island designed to generate about 1 million tonnes of offshore hydrogen starting in 2030. In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. The process emits about 10 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of hydrogen. Why all the hype about hydrogen?
