Carbon emissions in port of Rotterdam drop more swiftly than national average

Green Car Congress

The port’s total emissions volume combines those released by industrial production (refineries, chemical companies) and electricity generation (gas- and coal-fired power plants). The carbon emissions of Rotterdam’s industrial sector fell by 1.1 The carbon emissions of Rotterdam’s industrial sector fell by 1.1

Researchers demonstrate electrochemical synthesis of ammonia from air and water under mild conditions

Green Car Congress

Andrews have demonstrated that ammonia can be synthesized directly from air (instead of N 2 ) and H 2 O (instead of H 2 ) under a mild condition (room temperature, one atmosphere) with supplied electricity which can be obtained from renewable resources such as solar, wind or marine. tons of CO 2 is released per ton of ammonia produced.

Enviva and MOL to develop sail-powered bulk carrier to cut GHG emissions in biomass supply chain; Wind Challenger hard sail

Green Car Congress

Lines (MOL), a leading global marine transport group, signed a memorandum of understanding agreement to develop and to deploy an environmentally friendly bulk carrier. This will include the “Wind Challenger”, a cargo ship design with a hard sail, which would reduce emissions by harnessing wind energy.

ExxonMobil Outlook: 35% growth in energy demand by 2040; hybrids to account for ~50% of new vehicle sales

Green Car Congress

Diesel will also play a more significant role in the marine sector in the latter half of the Outlook period, in response to stricter marine emissions standards. Lower-sulfur fuel regulations for marine vessels expected over the next decade may attract some shipping companies to invest in LNG capability. Source: ExxonMobil.

EIA: light duty vehicle energy consumption to drop 25% by 2040; increased oil production, vehicle efficiency reduce US oil and liquid imports

Green Car Congress

Energy consumption by marine vessels increases from 0.9 Some other key findings of the AEO2014 Reference case include: Low natural gas prices boost natural gas-intensive industries. Industrial shipments are expected to grow at 3.0% Industrial natural gas consumption is projected to grow by 22% between 2012 and 2025.

EIA projects decline in transportation sector energy consumption through 2037 despite increase in VMT, followed by increase

Green Car Congress

Freight rail ton-miles grow by 20% during the same period, led primarily by rising industrial output. However, US coal shipments, which are primarily via rail, decline slightly. The renewables share, including hydro, also increases from 18% in 2018 to 31% in 2050, driven largely by growth in wind and solar generation.
