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

Green Car Congress

Maritime classification society the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has granted Alfa Laval the first marine approval for operating boilers on methanol. Marine boilers generate steam for auxiliary machinery for various ship services or, in some cases, for main propulsion. Source: Alfa Laval. Source: Alfa Laval.

MAN reports successful first running of ammonia two-stroke engine

Green Car Congress

The company reports that the successful combustion was performed on a MAN B&W two-stroke 4T50ME-X type and produced positive results with particularly promising data regarding pilot-oil amount and combustion stability. This marks a major milestone on our road to developing a full-scale two-stroke ammonia marine engine. —Thomas S.

UCSD/Sapphire team shows marine algae can be engineered to perform as well as fresh water algae to produce enzymes and biofuels; removing the constraint of fresh water

Green Car Congress

have demonstrated for the first time that genetically engineered marine algae can be just as capable as fresh water algae in producing industrially relevant products such as enzymes or biofuels. What our research shows is that we can achieve in marine species exactly what we’ve already done in fresh water species.

Novel microbial biosensor platforms for early detection and treatment of oil leakage and produced waters

Green Car Congress

It features more than 13,000 presentations on a wide range of science topics. Plus if we are able to develop this system on a larger scale, the same unit would be able to treat the waste and to remediate the soil and water that has been contaminated. We no longer have to wait until the leak is out of hand. leader of the project.

EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

Meeting jet fuel specifications is an appropriate target to validate that highperformance transportation fuels can indeed be produced from a broad range of residue and waste streams via hydrothermal liquefaction. Under these conditions, biomass is converted into a crude bio-oil, which is separated from the process water behind the reactor.

PSI team develops web tool for consumers to compare environmental impact of passenger cars in detail

Green Car Congress

The system will graph lifecycle impact for a range of specified powertrains, for a large number of impact categories: Climate change [kg CO 2 -eq.]. Depletion of fossil energy resources [kg oil-eq.]. Depletion of fresh water reserves [m 3 ]. Eutrophication of non-marine aquatic environments [kg N-eq.].

Cal Energy Commission awards Shell $4M to develop and demonstrate multi-modal hydrogen refueling station; road and rail

Green Car Congress

The California Energy Commission has approved a 4-million grant to Equilon Enterprises LLC (dba Shell Oil Products US) to develop and demonstrate the first multi-modal hydrogen refueling station in California. Locomotives and marine vessels emit approximately 90% of diesel particulate matter and 24% of statewide NO x.
