Port of Rotterdam and partners to study commercial-scale hydrogen imports

Port of Rotterdam Authority, Koole Terminals, Chiyoda Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation have inked an agreement to jointly study the feasibility of a commercial-scale import of hydrogen from overseas sources to one of Koole’s terminals in the port of Rotterdam utilizing Chiyoda’s proven hydrogen storage and transportation technology SPERAHydrogen.

Northwest-Europe will have to import hydrogen on a large scale to become net-zero CO2 emission, according to a statement.

The Port of Rotterdam...

UK unveils plans to reduce shipping emissions

The United Kindom’s (UK) Government Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) has launched plans to examine the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the shipping sector to the minimum.

During the inquiry, the EAC will be considering a number of factors that could play a crucial role in decarbonisation, such as the commercialisation of new technologies, very low carbon fuels, reductions in demand and options to drive international action to lower global emissions from the shipping industry.

Maersk to decarbonise supply chains with emission-free block train services

AP Moller – Maersk has partnered with ERS/BoxXpress.de, a Hamburg-based railway company that exclusively operates emission-free electric container trains in Germany using hydropower renewable energy.

Hydrogen fuel cells contain a zero-carbon fuel that can be converted into electricity with high efficiency. While hydrogen has previously been utilised to power passenger cars and buses, the CapO2 free intermodal transports solution is now being supported by the Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for...

Critical decade in battle against climate change

According to the United Nations (UN), the agreement reached by 196 nations at COP21 on 12 December 2015, which entered into force nearly a year later on 4 November 2016, is a legally binding international treaty on climate change.

Also known as the Paris Agreement, COP21 established the goal of limiting global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to such an extent that the warming of the planet would be limited to at least 2oC and more preferably to below 1.5oC when compared to pre-industrial levels.

Simplicity is the key for new generation fuels

Current debates about the fuel of the future must be had with the understanding that there is no perfect solution, all future fuels will have challenges to be overcome, the question is which challenge is easiest and offers the greatest benefits.

Discussing these challenges, and indeed, working to overcome them are Jakob Andersen from Danish fuel producer Mash, Lars Bo Andersen from Alfa Laval and Claus Graugaard from the Maersk McKinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Technology, who are working...

New LNG report adds fire to pro-gas campaigners

SEA-LNG and the Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF) say that the latest study on LNG as a marine fuel showed that the gas could reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 23%.

The ‘2nd Lifecycle GHG Emission Study on the use of LNG as a Marine Fuel’from Sphera, formerly thinkstep which produced its first study in 2019, was commissioned by SEA-LNG and SGMF and used primary data from original engine manufacturers and fuel suppliers to calculate emission reductions.
