Chalmers study finds ship exhaust gas scrubbers responsible for up to 9% of certain hazardous emissions into Baltic Sea

Green Car Congress

New research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, finds that the discharge water from ships’ exhaust gas treatment systems—i.e., A scrubber is used on ships to clean exhaust gases, primarily to reduce emissions of sulfur oxides to the atmosphere. Ytreberg et al.

New Emissions Analytics study suggests pollution from tire wear now 1,850 times worse than exhaust emissions

Green Car Congress

In early 2020, UK-based independent testing firm Emissions Analytics published a study claiming that tire particulate wear emissions were 1,000 times worse than exhaust emissions ( earlier post ). As a result, distance-specific mass and number emissions can be derived, which can then be compared to equivalent tire metrics.

Empa and partners exploring DME as fuel with new heavy-duty test engine

Green Car Congress

An electrically driven compressor for precise exhaust gas recirculation is also used. Then we modify the timing and pressure of the injection, among other things, and look at exhaust emission values and fuel consumption. This is done via exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Water is formed as a by-product.

ABS grants Alfa Laval the marine industry’s first approval in principle (AIP) for firing boilers with methanol

Green Car Congress

Alfa Laval offers a range of oil-fired and oil and exhaust gas-fired boilers for ships. Straight tubes connect the water and steam drums directly, which ensures safe circulation with no risk of overheating and subsequent tube burnout. In the future, methanol operations will need to extend to boilers.

The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

Clean Fleet Report

So, with that in mind, let’s explore the future of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and break down everything you need to know. FCEVs use hydrogen—a lightweight, abundantly available gas—to generate the electricity through a chemical reaction and power the electric motors that move the car. How Do FCEVs Work?
