Oil and gas major Shell has agreed to purchase a total of 3.25 billion litres of sugarcane-based cellulosic ethanol under a long-term agreement with Brazil’s Raízen. The low-carbon fuel is expected to be produced by five plants that Raízen plans to build in Brazil - bringing its total portfolio of cellulosic ethanol facilities in the Latin American country to nine. Shell contributed the cellulosic ethanol technology during the formation of Raízen, a joint venture with Cosan in 2011. Since then, Raízen has developed and scaled-up the process for making low-carbon intensity ethanol from sugar-cane waste. The new plants will enable Raízen to operate highly integrated bio-energy parks, while the supply deal will help Shell with its strategy of becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050. Andrew Smith, executive vice president for Shell Trading and Supply, said: “Global demand for sustainable fuels is growing. Combining Raízen’s innovative sugar-cane waste technology with Shell’s

  Taking a quantum leap forward in reducing weight in packaging, Amcor Rigid Packaging (ARP) has developed a revolutionary two-step, lightweighting technology that eliminates more than 50% of the material and weight in the finish of the bottle. 100% Recycled Material Use: A leader in developing technology that produces more sustainable packaging options, ARP’s new Quantum™ technology for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles delivers sustainability benefits, lowers cost, and improves packaging appearance. By removing more than 50% of the material and weight from the finish, the new Quantum™ technology reduces manufacturing costs and GHG emissions, resulting in energy savings and lower carbon emissions compared to bottles with a traditional finish. Quantum™ technology also allows for up to 100% recycled material use and provides a superior consumer experience with a more sustainable, fully recyclable package. “Our customers and consumers alike are looking for ways to support the circ

The Alfred Wegener Institute’s new eco-friendly research vessel Uthörn has been christened at Fassmer shipyard in Berne.  As informed, the vessel, measuring 35 meters in length, will be the first seagoing German ship powered by environmentally friendly, low-emission methanol. In addition to a large working deck with dry and wet laboratories, Uthörn features two derrick booms for trawling nets and water samplers, a multi-frequency echosounder for detecting and identifying schools of fish, and an anti-roll tank, which can stabilise the ship on choppy seas.  The new vessel will operate in the North Sea, focusing on the area around the Alfred Wegener Institute’s island station in Helgoland. “The new Uthörn sets standards as the first German seagoing vessel with methanol propulsion. The Alfred Wegener Institute and the Fassmer company have succeeded in building a sustainable, low-emission and innovative research vessel on which we can only congratulate them,” Bettina Stark-Watzinger, from F

The Hyundai Group has announced a massive investment in hydrogen, committing $6.7 billion towards “the fuel of the future.” Scott Phillips, Chief Investment Officer at Motley Fool told Oliver Peterson on Perth Live that hydrogen should be in the mix for our automotive future. “When you block off potential ideas, when you simply say we think the race has been won and done…I think that’s a mistake,” he told Oly. “I just think this is a smart idea, if you think about what hydrogen offers, a six kilo hydrogen tank can take you about as far as a standard full tank of petrol or diesel.” Source:hydrogen-central #hyundai #hydrogen #compositematerials #alternativeenergy #future #automotive #carbonneutral #investment
