The Cijian Island passenger ferry is retrofitted with a Visedo electric propulsion system, replacing the original diesel engine. It heralds Asia’s first hybrid electric ferry and, if successful, the Kaohsiung City Government plans to retrofit the rest of its diesel fleet to help reduce pollution levels around Taiwan’s largest harbor.

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. These basic petrochemicals form the basis for the manufacture of a wide range of plastics and other products.

The bioenergy content of the fuels ranged from 7 to 78%. Neste Oil provided the renewable gasoline component. The study assessed five biofuels in addition to baseline gasoline: E10 (10% ethanol v/v); E10 + renewable hydrocarbons (R) for a total 26% bio-component by volume; butanol (17% v/v); E30 (31% v/v); and E85 (85% v/v).

A team of researchers in Finland reports that by adjusting engine parameters for the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) renewable diesel fuel across a range of loads (50%, 75%, and 100%), particulate matter and NO x emissions can both be reduced by more than 25% relative to the values from using HVO with standard engine conditions.
