BHP and GCMD Pilot Tallow-Based Biofuel Blend to Enhance Maritime Sustainability

BHP and GCMD Pilot Tallow-Based Biofuel Blend to Enhance Maritime Sustainability

BHP, an Australian mining company, in collaboration with Singapore's Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), is testing a new biofuel blend made from waste animal fat and used cooking oil. This pilot project aims to expand the availability of biofuels for global shipping, which has traditionally relied on used cooking oil. The BHP-chartered bulk carrier Berge Lyngor is being used for the trial, with the bio-blend potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 79% per voyage compared to conventional fuels. The project seeks to evaluate the feasibility of using multiple feedstocks for biofuel production under real-world conditions.

Green Groups Urge Clarity on Emissions Trading and Energy Storage Policies

Green Groups Urge Clarity on Emissions Trading and Energy Storage Policies

The Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA), along with 50 other stakeholders, has called on EU and UK policymakers to clarify agreements on emissions trading ahead of an upcoming EU-UK Summit. The emissions trading system (ETS) is crucial as it caps emissions from carbon-intensive sectors, accounting for about 40% of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions. The CCSA emphasizes the need for regulatory certainty to advance cross-border carbon capture and storage projects. Additionally, green technology groups are urging the European Commission to promote long-duration energy storage (LDES) to support the EU's clean energy goals. These groups argue that LDES can provide secure and affordable energy systems, essential for balancing power systems as industries move towards electrification.

New Hybrid Excursion Boat Launches at Port of Los Angeles

New Hybrid Excursion Boat Launches at Port of Los Angeles

A new hybrid excursion boat, El Escudo, has been launched at the Port of Los Angeles, marking a significant advancement in emission-reduction technology. Developed through a partnership between Harbor Breeze Cruises, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the Port of Long Beach, the vessel features a parallel hybrid propulsion system. This allows it to operate in fully electric, diesel, or hybrid modes, exceeding U.S. EPA Tier 4 and CARB emissions standards. The vessel is part of the Los Angeles Marine Emission Reduction (LA MER) Project, which aims to test and evaluate emission-reduction technologies for harbor craft.

Electric Vehicles Offer Cost and Emission Benefits Over Gas Cars, Study Finds

Electric Vehicles Offer Cost and Emission Benefits Over Gas Cars, Study Finds

A recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology highlights the cost-competitiveness and emission reduction benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) compared to gasoline vehicles across most of the United States. The study found that EVs can reduce emissions by 40% to 60% and are increasingly cost-competitive, despite higher upfront costs. The time it takes to recoup these costs depends on the specific EV model and regional energy mix. The study also notes that while manufacturing EVs involves higher emissions initially, these are offset over time by the cleaner operation of EVs compared to gasoline vehicles.
