MAN Engines has equipped both V12 engines for dual fuel operation

TES will speed the energy transition by creating some of the world’s largest hydrogen projects

The first ammonia-powered tractor with zero emissions successfully completed its first demonstration drive at Stony Brook University’s Advanced Energy Center in New York. The diesel engine on the midsize John Deere tractor was replaced with a “ammonia to power” system invented by the startup Amogy. The system converts the high-energy chemical to hydrogen, which is then used to power a 100 kW hydrogen fuel cell. Although most EV coverage focuses on consumer-oriented passenger cars and light trucks, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles account for over a quarter of U.S. vehicle emissions and are crucial decarbonization objectives. The low energy density of…

Industry should be required to save more energy starting in 2023. In at least thirty major cities, inner-city deliveries must become emission-free after 2025. And the Dutch government is investigating whether companies should be required to purchase sustainable hydrogen from 2026. These intentions are part of the Climate Policy Program that Minister Rob Jetten (Climate and Energy, D66) is sending to the Lower House this Thursday. This program is intended to implement a more stringent climate policy in the coming years, so that greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced more quickly. In order to certainly meet Europe’s requirement – 55…

In the first panel discussion of the 134th anniversary conference of the “Jornal de Notícias”, taking place at the Cruise Terminal of the Port of Leixões in Matosinhos, solutions related to blue energy and decarbonization in the use of resources that the sea has to offer were presented. Andreia Ventura, administrator of the ETE group (Empresa de Trafego e Estiva), was responsible for opening the discussion. The company is currently responsible for the construction of the first electric ferryboat. “It was a project that we won in the sequence of an international public tender, awarded by the Aveiro City Hall.…

China’s largest oil and gas producer intends to convert 50 percent of its output to hydrogen, geothermal energy, and renewable power by 2050, in line with the country’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions. China National Petroleum Corp. mentioned the goal in its environmental protection report, which it published on its website on Wednesday, stating that oil and gas would continue to account for the other half of its output by then. The corporation is the parent of PetroChina Co., which stated in its March annual report that it wants to generate 50 percent of its output from renewable sources by…

EnerVenue has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the delivery of its energy storage solution to a Puerto Rico-based customer. Sonnell Power Solutions, the energy division of transportation and logistics services provider Grupo Sonnell, will acquire and deploy 40 MWh of EnerVenue’s EnerStation battery systems in 2023 under the terms of the agreement. EnerVenue stated that volume will expand to 420 MWh between 2024 and 2025. Following 2017’s destruction by Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico’s power grid has remained in poor condition. According to EnerVenue, since then, local businesses have been willing to adopt alternative energy and grid-resilient solutions, and…

A U.S.-based wind energy leader pitched a green hydrogen project for the Port of Argentia at a long-running annual conference in St. John’s that generally focuses only on oil and gas. “Today I suppose we’ve made the next step in Argentia’s transformation to a green economy,” said Wayne Power, chairman of the Port of Argentia’s board of directors and deputy mayor of the neighboring city of Placentia. Pattern Energy, headquartered in San Francisco, is a global leader in renewable energy, producing over six gigawatts of electricity. It is also well-established in Canada, having wind farms in five provinces. Now, it…

Seven German wind, renewables, and hydrogen organizations teamed up with IG Metall to seek a faster ramp-up of green H2 production at sea, hydrogen tenders next year, and dedicated North Sea hydrogen pipelines. Northern German organisations united as ‘Offshore-Wind-H2-Achter’ in a six-step request for a’sprinter program’ for offshore-wind-to-hydrogen to avoid Germany missing worldwide developments. Hydrogen generation at sea in Germany’s EEZ offers enormous prospects for expanding electrolysis capacity for the national and European hydrogen plan and for offshore wind energy growth, the eight groups stated in a joint study. Cross-border cooperation is essential for a green hydrogen economy, the groups…

EnBW has begun three significant fuel switch projects over the past year to convert existing coal power plant sites in Altbach/Deizisau, Stuttgart-Münster, and Heilbronn into natural gas and, beginning in the 2030s, green hydrogen facilities. The company’s goal is to become climate-neutral by 2035. This week, EnBW and a partnership composed of General Electric, SENER, and Bonatti signed agreements for the Heilbronn and Altbach/Deizisau sites. The significant order, with a volume in the mid-three-digit million range per site, covers the building of one combined heat and power plant and the related maintenance and servicing work. The contracts are being granted…
