Innovative technology and standardization bring sustainable marine fuels to reality
Ørsted, a Danish energy company, is building Europe’s largest commercial production facility for carbon-neutral marine fuels in northeastern Sweden. The FlagshipONE plant, developed by Liquid Wind AB, will produce up to 50,000 metric tons of e-methanol per year from renewable energy and biogenic carbon dioxide from 2025.
Brightening the future: the impact of LED lighting
LED lighting is a revolutionary technology that has transformed the way we light our homes, businesses, and public spaces. The adoption of LED lighting has been a key factor in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, making it an important tool in the fight against climate change.
Powering a sustainable future: the rise of solar panels and wind turbines
The development of solar panels and wind turbines in the 20th century has had a significant impact on the energy sector. In the past, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas were the primary sources of energy. However, the increasing demand for energy coupled with the rising concerns about the environmental impact of fossil fuels has led to the development of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
Revving towards a greener future: the rise of electric cars and the reduction of gasoline dependence
The widespread adoption of electric cars can have several positive impacts on different aspects of society. Firstly, it can lead to a reduction in air pollution, as electric cars produce no emissions at the tailpipe. This can lead to improved public health, as air pollution has been linked to a range of health issues including asthma, lung cancer, and heart disease.
