VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) are beginning testing of the Soletair demo plant, which uses air-captured carbon dioxide to produce renewable fuels and chemicals. The system produces high-purity hydrogen gas at elevated pressures. kW solar PV power plant at LUT.

Wärtsilä will supply the propulsion machinery for a new passenger ferry to be built by STX Finland Oy for Viking Line. The vessel will be the largest passenger ferry to operate on liquefied natural gas (LNG), making it the most environmentally sound and energy efficient large passenger vessel in the industry to date.

The gasification of biomass and the gas cleaning process are developed and piloted by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd together with GKN Sinter Metals Filters GmbH. The COMSYN project validates the process concept from biomass gasification to final biofuel product.

The plant will use Steeper Energy’s hydrothermal liquefaction process (HydroFaction) to produce an oil that can be used directly as marine propulsion fuel (or upgraded further to produce drop-in diesel or jet fuel). The Aalborg facility is a continuous bench scale model of future larger commercial systems.

Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are thought to bring the best of both worlds – a large enough battery to take care of your daily tasks, paired with a gas engine for longer trips or when you can’t find a charger. For this reason, PHEVs have long been thought of as an ideal transitional technology between gas vehicles and electric ones.

This will need to be supported by a modern and coherent infrastructure design and smarter pricing of infrastructure usage. Member States should also consider how fuel and vehicle taxation can be used to support greenhouse gas reductions in the transport sector in line with the Commission’s proposal on the taxation of energy products.

As we know from GM’s Superbowl advertisement, Norway is crushing the USA in electric vehicle (EV) sales, followed closely by Sweden and Finland. But electric vehicles are designed to protect themselves with onboard heaters to warm the battery. This concept holds true for gas and diesel-powered vehicles too.
