Asian Countries Can Smoothly Transition To Net Zero By Mid-Century?

Power system modelling by the global technology group Wärtsilä has revealed that renewable-based power systems, backed by grid balancing engines and energy storage, can enable Southeast Asian countries to reach net zero by mid-century whilst cutting the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) by over 20%, when taking into account likely future carbon taxes, reports an article published on their website.

About the study

The modelling, published in Rethinking Energy in Southeast Asia report, simulates...

Handling Flammable Liquid Cargo Aboard Vessel

The Swedish Club details the steps to deal with flammable liquid cargo.

Flammable liquid cargo

Flammable liquid cargoes present risks of explosions in cargo tanks and other compartments. These explosions are
often followed by fire. Sometimes fire and/or explosions propagate to other tanks.

In that case, to investigate the cause it is necessary to work back to the origin tank by plotting the direction of the first displacement of bulkheads between tanks. At the first tank, all of the bulkheads will...
