For now, it can be an electrically boosted, dual fuel LNG/LH2, maybe in a propfan.
Aviation H2 selects liquid ammonia as carbon-free fuel of choice
Following a three-month feasibility study, Aviation H2—an Australian-owned company seeking to achieve net-zero emissions in the aerospace sector through green hydrogen—has selected the use of liquid ammonia to turbofan combustion as the best route to carbon-free flight and will soon start modif...
These are the priorities of large, profit driven companies, such as VW and Toyota. They're not start-ups with enormous failure rates, and which live on venture capital. Massive investments support massive profits, not sustainability. The rate of transport decarbonization is controlled by profitability and little else, that being ethical investment funds and government subsidy. When recycling is highly profitable, recycling happens. Government fiat can force investment, but this is more commonly done in the form of winks and nudges.
Cheap consumer vehicles cannot produce the profits the big players demand, especially with unprecedented but oh so adventageous "shortages."
Hexagon study finds automakers prioritizing EV range and cost over carbon footprint
Independent research into electric vehicle (EV) development has found that most automotive companies are more focused on improving electric car range and reducing costs than improving the vehicles’ carbon footprint, despite mounting scrutiny of their hidden environmental impacts. The research h...
If solar and wind (with pumped hydro and battery for backup and smoothing) will provide 60GW, stop right there and lower demand. Burning spent nuclear fuel is a different matter, but necessary.
New UK energy strategy pushes new nuclear; up to 8 additional reactors
In the new environment of energy insecurity intensified by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting response from the West, the UK government has released a new British Energy Security Strategy that sets out how Great Britain will accelerate the deployment of wind, new nuclear, solar and h...
On the contrary, fusion research hasn't panned-out, so on the supply side, it's solar, wind, water, geothermal, biomass and fission to stop the climate catastrophy. However, molten Salt is anything but proven with significant challenges to be overcome. Nonetheless, it seems doable, though it will quite likely never be as economical as the renewable alternatives. Very significant progress will come from opportunities on the demand side and with efficiencies such as thermoelectric. It just can't come soon enough.
Samsung Heavy and Seaborg to develop floating nuclear power plant combined with hydrogen and ammonia plants
Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) and Seaborg signed a partnership agreement to develop floating nuclear power plants based on Seaborg’s inherently safe Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR). The floating nuclear power plant comes as a turn-key product, ready to be moored at an industrial harbor. ...
Bio-methanol and bio-methane are begging for us to pick them as the low hanging fruit they are. They seem so good, so low in cost, so inevitable, compared to the perfect (and some would say perfectly dangerous) ammonia.
Reduce shipping by ocean vessels, sure. But the ocean vessels we use need a standard fuel, and methanol seems to be it.
Veolia launches largest project to produce bio-methanol from pulp mill waste
Metsä Fibre, part of Metsä Group, and Veolia recently signed a long-term partnership agreement on the refining of crude methanol generated in pulp production at the Äänekoski bioproduct mill into commercial biomethanol. As part of this cooperation, Veolia will build a crude methanol refinery in ...
Shockingly bad, and quite like Toyota's latest 3.4L twin turbo effort. Thank God these vehicles come with big TV screens to watch while we breathe in that deliciously sweet benzene!
Stellantis Hurricane twin-turbo I-6 cuts emissions, increases fuel economy and is more powerful
Stellantis revealed its new, 3.0-liter, twin-turbo, inline, six-cylinder engine, named Hurricane, that delivers better fuel economy and fewer emissions than larger engines while at the same time generates more horsepower and torque than many competitors’ naturally aspirated V-8 and boosted six-c...
Not a low friction engine from what I can gather, and tuned for high torque down low. Compared to the 5.3L, I predict lower real world efficiency and higher emissions overall (especially high in small particulates). GM wanted an aftermarket tuner engine so here it is. If GM had wanted an efficient truck, it would have built it as a strong hybrid with electric auxilliaries and a fully electric front axle (at the least). Is GM going to respond to FCA?
2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offered with new 4-cylinder turbo with Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck will be offered with an all-new, technologically advanced 2.7L Turbo. Standard on LT and RST trims, the new engine delivers an SAE-certified 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft (472 N·m) of torque—22% more torque than the 4.3L V-6 it replaces. Developed s...
