Tips to avoid pitfalls in CO2 capture projects
In recent years, growing concern about increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<sub/>) levels has put mounting pressure on governments and on processing industries to curb carbon emissions.
Comparing green fuels for marine engines—Part 1
The marine shipping industry, which accounts for 80% of global trade and 3% of annual global carbon emissions,<sup>1</sup> must adhere to stringent International Maritime Organization (IMO) goals of reducing total annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 50% below 2008 levels by 2050.<sup>2</sup>
Sustainability through efficiency: A plan for the refining industry
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions will decrease through 2050 in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD), which includes the U.S.<sup>1</sup>
Safe and sustainable alkylation for the forward-looking refiner
In a post-pandemic economy, global governments and industry participants are increasingly committing to meeting climate action targets.
Shrinking the carbon footprint: A digital transformation roadmap for green fuel producers
From ethanol and renewable diesel to biofuels and gas-to-liquids, the world is moving toward low-carbon energy sources to mitigate climate change and boost energy security.
Business Trends: Battle of the biofuels: Renewable diesel vs. biodiesel
As new low-carbon diesel fuels and blends become more readily available, it is important to understand the differences between them and how each impacts engine performance.
