  India’s Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Limited (GACL) has entered into an agreement with NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL) to produce 75 tonnes/day of green methanol and 35 tonnes/day of green ammonia. The two plants, which will use renewable energy produced by NTPC REL, will be India’s first commercial-scale green ammonia and green methanol projects, the Ministry of Power said. “NTPC REL has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with GACL to realize green energy and green hydrogen objectives and the government’s efforts towards a carbon-neutral environment,” it said. NTPC will ensure a constant supply of 100MG (megawatts) of renewable energy to the plants. The methanol and ammonia output will be used by GACL at its Vadodara and Dahej complexes in western Gujarat state to produce various downstream chemicals, the statement said. The timelines and cost estimates for the project have not been provided. Source:ICIS Visit MY BLOG http://polymerguru.blogspot.com #ICIS   #ind

  Army soldiers aren’t allowed to use hemp-derived CBD even if it's federally legal—but the military branch is now asking for information about using hemp yarn in uniforms to help camouflage snipers. In a request for information (RFI) posted last week, the Army said that it’s interested in exploring alternative materials to improve uniforms used by snipers to hide from enemy combatants in close proximity. Hemp and jute are among the materials that it thinks could support the “Operational Clothing and Individual for the Improved Ghillie System (IGS).” “Interest is specifically in a yarn/twine/thread used to break up the Snipers outline made from Jute, Hemp or similar natural fiber,” the notice says. The Army’s Product Manager Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment division is “seeking approximately a 48 lb Jute Count, 3 ply, Jute, Hemp or similar natural fiber, yarn/twine in a natural color,” it continues. “The current demand for the Jute/Hemp yarn is 400,000 yards.” “The IGS is

  Bravo Transport Services Limited (“Bravo Transport”), the parent company of Citybus and New World First Bus (“NWFB”) and a portfolio company of Templewater I, L.P., is proud to announce the arrival of Hong Kong’s first-ever hydrogen double-decker bus. The vehicle is designed and built by a consortium of experts led by Bravo Transport and Wisdom Motor Co Ltd (“Wisdom”), following the success of the electric double-deck bus project. To ensure the vehicle will achieve its maximum potential, we have adopted key components and products from renowned international partners and suppliers. The fuel cell, which is the key component that converts hydrogen into electricity, is provided by the world-leading fuel cell producer Ballard Power Systems and the Type 4 hydrogen storage cylinder system is provided by CIMC-HEXAGON, a joint-venture company of CIMC ENRIC and Hexagon Purus. Both Ballard Power Systems and CIMC-HEXAGON, will work with us to develop the application of existing technology and m

  📢It's Story-Time!📢 The first mass-produced tank with composite armour! Composite armour is a type of vehicle armour consisting of layers of different materials such as metals, plastics, ceramics or air. Most composite armours are lighter than their all-metal equivalent, but instead, occupy a larger volume for the same resistance to penetration. It is possible to design composite armour stronger, lighter and less voluminous than traditional armour, but the cost is often prohibitively high, restricting its use to especially vulnerable parts of a vehicle. Its primary purpose is to help defeat high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) projectiles. The Soviet tank T-64 is deemed to be the first mass-produced tank to have widespread use of composite armour technology. Its protection included a 3-layer composite armour (K formula), with a thickness between 450 and 20 mm: Front: 120 mm steel, 105 mm fibreglass, 40 mm steel. Sides: 80 mm steel. Front of the turret: 150 mm steel, 150 mm fibreglass

Diab received the JEC Composites Innovation Award for the 100% Thermoplastic and Recyclable Panel for Cabin interiors. The panel is 100% recyclable, includes recycled content from production waste, and is consequently 100% waste-free. Being recyclable and reusable, it offers the Aerospace industry a vital step toward a circular economy. Diab’s sustainable panel solution for cabin interiors takes advantage of the performance of the structural foam core Divinycell F and combines it with thermoplastic skins. Using only materials already tested and qualified by Aerospace OEM, the panel is fully compliant with all requirements within the industry, yet 100% recyclable. Diab also created a new innovative manufacturing process that saves up to 20% of the cost, up to 10% of weight, and offers higher mechanical and fire resistance behavior than current Honeycomb core and Phenolic resin/Glass fibre solutions. “At the start of the project, we decided to think out of the box and push the limit of e

The technology center @Eurecat has announced tests in manufacturing with Compositronics for the development of functional composite materials, by combining various manufacturing processes, flexible printed electronics, and insertion of components, which provide new features in terms of lightness and in the cheapening of industrial assembly. According to the director of the Composite Materials Unit at Eurecat, María Eugenia Rodríguez, Compositronics "is the perfect combination for the development of functional lightweight structures". That is, "thanks to the lightness of composites and printed electronics, it is possible to significantly reduce the weight of components and large structures, and reduce costs in assembly processes with the introduction of sensors during the manufacture of the composite". The various processes "are carried out at Eurecat's facilities, at Plastrónica's pilot plant and in the laboratories of the technology center's compos
