Study finds engines emit exhaust nanoparticles even when not fueled during engine braking

Green Car Congress

Exhaust particle size distributions measured by ELPI (color map) and particle concentration measured by CPC (white line) during individual engine braking conditions (speed change from 32 km/h to 0 km/h). The exhaust sample was taken from the exhaust manifold. The exhaust sample was taken from the exhaust manifold.

Rystad Energy expects strong growth in hydrogen pipelines through 2035

Green Car Congress

It also plays a central role in the REPowerEU Plan to phase out Russian fossil fuel imports—which aims to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030 and import another 10 Mt in the same time frame. The West Macedonia pipeline is a new natural gas pipeline that started construction in Greece earlier this year.

DNV GL paper suggests near-term success for LNG in shipping; alternative fuel mix to diversify over time

Green Car Congress

Well-to-Propeller GHG emissions results for marine alternative fuels. DNV GL has released a position paper on the future alternative fuel mix for global shipping. The global merchant fleet currently consumes around 330 million tonnes of fuel annually, 80-85 per cent of which is residual fuel with high sulfur content.

Next-generation LNG carrier concept about 8% more energy efficient, with 5% more cargo

Green Car Congress

LNG carrier machinery systems are highly complex featuring tightly integrated sub-systems and components, such as BOG (boil-off gas) compression trains; gas management system; reliquefaction (if any); propulsion and/or generating engines; exhaust gas economizers; and boilers. The primary fuel—i.e.

EEA Report: Trends in European Transport Are Heading in the Wrong Direction

Green Car Congress

Despite a reduction in road transport exhaust emissions across Europe, there have been no significant improvements in concentrations of fine particulates (PM 10 ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ), which have a major impact on air quality and human health. TERM reports have been published since 2000.
