North Ammonia, Höegh Evi to explore a clean ammonia supply chain from Norway to Europe
North Ammonia, a developer of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) ammonia facilities in Norway, and Höegh Evi, a global leader in marine energy infrastructure, have signed an agreement to explore a value chain for supplying hydrogen to European industrial users using green ammonia produced in Norway.
Digital Feature (sponsored): Three questions oil and gas companies should ask to improve their operations risk management
The article will discuss the five broad categories that most of this industry’s risk falls under and address the three—equally important—areas that can have a major impact on the quality of an oil and gas company’s overall operations risk management (ORM) strategy.
Lummus Technology, Resynergi announce commercialization of microwave-powered plastic pyrolysis technology
Lummus Technology and Resynergi announced the commercialization of Resynergi's Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis Modules, which converts plastic waste into circular pyrolysis products significantly faster and more efficiently than traditional pyrolysis methods.
Mercedes-AMG Petronas to use sustainable carbon fiber composites in Formula 1 racecars
Mercedes announced the first steps on the road towards sustainable carbon fiber composites. In concrete terms, this means that Mercedes will qualify and apply sustainable carbon fiber composites to their race cars during the 2025 Formula 1 season, without sacrificing any on-track performance.
LNG retrofits surge as maritime industry seeks short-term carbon reduction solutions
A surprising development in 2024 was the resurgence of LNG retrofits as shipowners sought immediate carbon reductions to navigate regulatory requirements. More than 305 LNG-fueled ships were ordered last year, accounting for approximately 14% of newbuilding orders, significantly outpacing methanol and ammonia alternatives.
New Sherwin-Williams Advanced Energy Barrier eliminates threat of corrosion under insulation
Sherwin-Williams’ Heat-Flex® Advanced Energy Barrier (AEB) tackles corrosion under insulation (CUI), effectively eliminating the costly and dangerous phenomenon of steel assets corroding underneath insulation systems. The coating replaces the bulky mineral-based insulation that is traditionally used on storage tanks, process vessels and piping to retain process heat.
ClearSign Technologies debuts new ClearSign Core M Series process burner technology
ClearSign Technologies Corporation announced that following the installation of a new burner technology into the Texas Gulf coast facility of a global chemical company, the company is reporting selective catalytic reduction (SCR) level nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in addition to high heat transfer efficiency within the heater.
Digital Exclusive: The future of gas turbines in the green revolution
With the rise of renewables wreaking dramatic changes to gas turbine operational modes, there is now an increased focus on minimizing operational costs. Gas turbines may be here to stay, but filter systems must remain relevant and efficient, as well. While today’s gas turbines run almost exclusively on fossil fuels like natural gas, it would be a misconception to consider them obsolete technology. Not only are gas turbines extremely efficient, but they possess qualities that are not just desirable but will remain essential even in a future energy system completely separated from the carbon-emitting fuels that presently dominate it.
