MISC, Samsung Heavy, Lloyd’s Register and MAN partner to develop ammonia-fueled tanker

Green Car Congress

Ammonia is a carbon-free fuel and can be produced from renewable electricity. The energy conversion rate of this system is higher than that of biomaterial-based systems, but the production pathway cannot tap into potential energy sources such as waste biomass. Ammonia is just one of the pathways towards zero-carbon emitting vessels.

SUTD team proposes low-temperature thermionic converter with graphene cathode; about 45% efficiency

Green Car Congress

Thermionic energy converters are heat engines that convert heat directly to electricity at very high temperatures. In 1915, Schlichter published an investigation into the use of thermionic emission for converting heat into electricity. A basic thermionic converter consists of two electrodes separated by a vacuum or a vapor.
