In an EU-funded research project, an international consortium is aiming to develop new production methods for sustainable marine fuels to replace heavy fuel oils in shipping. However, HFOs are banned in the national waters of many countries. Although cleaner fuels are available, many companies opt for HFOs due to their low cost.

A large-scale demonstration converting biocrude to renewable diesel fuel has passed a significant test, operating for more than 2,000 hours continuously without losing effectiveness. The biocrude oil came from many different sources, including wastewater sludge from Detroit, and food waste collected from prison and an army base.

Several significant changes contribute to the new EcoDiesel’s improved dynamic and fuel economy performance: A new-generation water-cooled turbocharger with variable geometry turbine (VGT) and low-friction bearing increases efficiency and responsiveness during transient conditions. The third-generation of the turbocharged 3.0-liter

The 2020 Ram 1500 will become the most powerful half-ton diesel pickup in the US, with 480 lb-ft (651 N·m) of torque, and the most capable light-duty diesel, with towing capability up to 12,560 pounds. The lower portion of the two-piece oil sump uses a lightweight sandwiched polymer/metal material that further reduces NVH.

Researchers at Peking University and Tsinghua University have developed a carbon nanotube (CNT)-based sponge that can soak up organic pollutants—such as oils and solvents—from the surface of water. No water is absorbed and the sponge can then be wrung out and reused, like an ordinary household sponge.
