There is a huge quantity of energy needs/demands for multiple developmental and domestic activities in the modern era. And in this context consumption of more non-renewable energy is reported and created many problems or issues (availability of fossil fuel stocks in the future period causes a huge quantity of toxic gases or particles or climatic change effects) at the global level. And only sustainable or renewable fuel development can provide alternate f Read More

Metal fuels as recyclable carriers of clean energy are promising alternatives to fossil fuels in a future low-carbon economy. Fossil fuels are a convenient and widely-available source of stored solar energy that have enabled our modern society; however fossil-fuel production cannot perpetually keep up with increasing energy demand while carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion cause climate change. Low-carbon energy carriers with hig Read More

This report summarizes the work conducted under U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under contract DE-FC36-04GO14285 by Mercedes-Benz & Research Development North America (MBRDNA) Chrysler Daimler Mercedes Benz USA (MBUSA) BP DTE Energy and NextEnergy to validate fuel cell technologies for infrastructure transportation as well as assess technology and commercial readiness for the market. The Mercedes Team together with its partner Read More

The rare earth metals have been identified by the European Union and the United States as being at greatest supply risk of all the materials for clean energy technologies. Of particular concern are neodymium and dysprosium both of which are employed in neodymium–iron–boron based magnets. Recycling of magnets based on these materials and contained within obsolete electronic equipment could provide an additional and secure supply. In the prese Read More

Environmental issues related to global warming are constantly pushing the fossil fuel-based energy sector toward an efficient and economically viable utilization of renewable energy. However challenges related to renewable energy call for alternative routes of its conversion to fuels and chemicals by an emerging Power-to-X approach. Methane is one such high-valued fuel that can be produced through renewables-powered electrolytic routes. Such Read More

The permanent introduction of green hydrogen into the energy economy would require that a discriminating selection be made of its use in the sectors where its value is optimal in terms of relative cost and life cycle reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently hydrogen can be used as an energy storage medium when intermittent wind and solar power exceed certain penetration in the grid likely above 40% and in road transportation right Read More

The use of clean hydrogen is likely to form a key part of a net-zero emissions future and has the potential to replace natural gas for end use heating. As part of BDR Thermea Group Baxi Heating UK are at the forefront of hydrogen boiler development. Working with the Hy4Heat programme hydrogen fuelled boilers have been produced for inclusion in trial sites across the UK. This presentation will explore progress to date together with the hydrogen-ready boiler concept.

As fossil fuels continue to be extracted and used issues such as environmental pollution and energy scarcity are surfacing. For the transportation industry the best way to achieve the goal of “carbon neutrality” is to research efficient power systems and develop new alternative fuels. As the world’s largest product of chemicals ammonia is a new renewable fuel with good combustion energy. It can be used as an alternative fuel to reduce carbon emissions becau Read More

Environmental regulations have always been an essential component in the natural gas supply chain with recent and greater emphasis on shipping operations. Recently more stringent regulations have been imposed by the International Maritime Organization on global maritime shipping operations. This review explores the challenges and opportunities associated with substituting heavy fuel oils used for maritime transportation with relatively clean Read More
