The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion. Shipping uses over 300 million tonnes of fossil fuels every year, producing 3 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.

ITM Power to launch 100 MW electrolyzer plant designs at Hannover Messe 2017

Green Car Congress

This is in response to utility and oil and gas industry demand for larger scale industrial installations. Emissions from steam reforming natural gas are about 10 tonnes of CO 2 per tonne of hydrogen produced, nearly 50% of direct refinery CO 2 emissions. Power-to-gas energy storage. Chemical Industry. Steel making.

Bauhaus Luftfahrt analysis finds solar thermochemical jet fuel production viable only if CO2 captured from renewable sources and not flue gases

Green Car Congress

According to their analysis, published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology , favorable assumptions for all involved process steps (30% thermochemical energy conversion efficiency; 3000 kWh/(m 2 a) solar irradiation, low CO 2 and heliostat costs) result in jet fuel production costs of €1.28/L kg CO 2 ‐equiv /L.

New fuel-efficient bulk carrier concept design; DNV estimates new tankers, bulkers and container vessels will be up to 30% more energy efficient by 2020 than newbuilds today

Green Car Congress

The Green Dolphin concept design is a five-cargo-hold CSR (Common Structural Rules) double-hull bulk carrier that meets current and future expected air and water emissions regulations. The design aims to be fuel-efficient and maintenance–friendly, with high operational flexibility. Wash water holding tanks are also included.
