Whatever you open today: newspaper, twitter, LinkedIn, magazine – currently hydrogen is in the spotlight, often presenting it as the energy carrier of the future. The industrial sector, especially refineries and the chemical sector, is already a major consumer. The climate agreement also sees opportunities for replacing gas. For heating…
UK researchers have developed a cheap and simple way of creating biofuel and fertiliser from seaweed, whilst removing plastic from the oceans and cleaning up tourist beaches in the Caribbean and Central America. Read the article here. In the Netherlands TNO also executes RD&D in its Seaweed Lab to convert…
Eindhoven University of Technology is going to lead a 4-year research and development project funded by the EU-Horizon2020 programme to explore the development of renewable maritime fuels. Many ships use heavy fuel oils that contain large amounts of sulphur and nitrogen leading to the emission of greenhouse gases and other damaging substances. The…
In the coming decade the share of renewable fuels in transport needs to increase significantly to lower the climate impact of transport and mobility and keep Europe on track to Paris. The Renewable Energy Directive for the periode 2021 to 2030 sets out a clear growth path for biofuels based…
PBL doet verslag van de zoektocht naar gedeelde feiten en meningen over beschikbaarheid en toepassingsmogelijken duurzame biomassa. Het eindrapport van PBL is hier te vinden. Voor biomassa lijkt in een klimaatneutrale, circulaire economie een belangrijke rol weggelegd. Tegelijkertijd is er veel maatschappelijke discussie over de wenselijkheid van (grootschalige) productie en…
The world is changing rapidly and this may well have a greater impact on our industry than others. The demand for sustainable fuel solutions is increasing and more and more alternative fuels are coming onto the market. But which alternatives offer the most opportunities? What are the possibilities? Today we…
The European Commission had started a process to draft a directive to increase the use of sustainable alternative fuels in European shipping and ports in the so-called FuelEU Maritime Initiative. The background for this action is that ship traffic to or from ports in the European Economic Area accounts for…
Swedish Preem joins forces with Haldor Topsoe to produce clean renewable diesel and jet fuel Il Bioeconomista 2020 Preem, the largest fuel company in Sweden, with a refining capacity of more than 18 million m³ of crude oil every year, has chosen Haldor Topsoe’s HydroFlex™ renewable fuel technology to produce clean…
Illka Hannula of Finnish research institute VTT is one of the authors of the research on 'Hydrogen enhanced biofuels for transport via fast pyrolysis of biomass: a conceptual assessment". In the paper, published at Elseviers Energy, he and his co-authors focus on the possibilities of boosting the carbon efficiency of a…
