Stamicarbon is pioneering future-proof solutions for low-carbon production with two ammonia process designs.

JCB says that it has passed a significant milestone on its hydrogen technology development programme after securing the first full EU type-approval of its hydrogen engine for use in non-road mobile machinery. This means that JCB’s hydrogen engine has been approved for sale and for use in machines and third-party OEM equipment in each of […]

Clariant says that its ShiftMax 100 RE catalyst is now in operation at INERATEC’s Era One e-fuels production plant in the Frankfurt Hoechst industrial park. The facility will transform around 8,000 t/a of CO2 into up to 2,500 t/a of synthetic fuels and waxes. The e-fuels produced at the INERATEC facility can be used as […]

Renewable hydrogen producer Hy2gen AG has completed an additional funding round of €47 million from existing shareholders.

Thyssenkrupp Uhde’s BioTfueL® technology has been selected for the BioTJet project by Elyse Energy and its partners (Axens, Avril, IFPEN). This project will produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from end-of-life wood waste and local forestry residues. together with the addition of green hydrogen. By 2029, BioTJet will supply sustainable aviation fuel to reduce carbon intensity in air

lomarlabs, the innovation arm of Lomar Shipping, has announced a strategic collaboration with Newlight, a technology company specialising in hybrid hydrogen-diesel engine retrofits, to accelerate the adoption of cost-effective, lower-emission solutions for the shipping industry. This collaboration will focus on retrofitting conventional diesel engines to operate on a hydrogen-diesel mix, reducing fuel consumption on average by 20% and significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Savings of up to 30% have already been demonstrated in workshop trials and this new collaboration will seek to replicate this onboard vessels.

Wi th future demand for both low carbon methanol and ammonia depending to a considerable extent on their take-up as low carbon shipping fuels, recent developments in the EU and IMO may help accelerate that process, as detailed in CRU’s most recent Low Carbon Hydrogen and Ammonia Outlook.
