In Denmark, Maersk announced their fleet renewal program continuation with the signing of newbuilding orders and time-charter contracts for 50-60 dual-fuel vessels capable of running on methanol or liquified bio-methane, totaling 800,000 TEU. The exact allocation of propulsion technologies will be determined based on future regulatory requirements and the availability of green fuels. This approach […]
In Denmark, Maersk reports the global shipping industry will grapple with significant challenges in the next few months due to the ongoing disruptions in the Red Sea. Extended travel times and logistical bottlenecks across the world are due to several factors. First, congestion at key Asian ports is causing widespread delays and chokepoints, disrupting the […]
In Germany, PV Magazine reported that the Danish Energy Agency has pre-approved a certification scheme to allow PtX producers in Denmark to certify green fuels. PtX, also known as green hydrogen or electrofuels, involves using electricity to produce hydrogen. EU legislation requires these fuels to be certified in order to be described as “green.” The […]
In Denmark, Mölnlycke Health Care and Scan Global Logistics (SGL), have entered an agreement for the purchase and deployment of ocean biofuel covering trade lanes from Asia to Europe to further reduce carbon emissions. This decision supports the global MedTech company’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reaching Net Zero by 2050 at […]
In Denmark, a new technique to monitor contamination in bioethanol production could increase revenue by more than $1.6 billion and reduce CO2 emissions by 2 million tons. For the first time ever, researchers at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (DTU Biosustain) have investigated the contaminant population from the sugarcane bioethanol production process at […]
In Denmark, a biofriendly new material made from barley starch blended with fiber from sugarbeet waste sees the light of day at the University of Copenhagen – a strong material that turns into compost should it end up in nature. In the long term, the researchers hope that their invention can help put the brakes […]
In Denmark, CPI Enterprises invested in Floreon Technology, a pioneering plastics firm which was born out of a successful partnership with the University of Sheffield. Founded in 2011, Floreon’s products are made using 70 – 90 percent plant-based raw materials, including their patent pending Therma-Tech grade plastic which is the world’s first halogen-free PLA compound to achieve UL94V‑0 flammability […]
In Denmark, Blue World Technologies has completed successful testing of the world’s first 200 kW high-temperature PEM fuel cell system designed for onboard power production using green methanol. The test demonstrated that the fuel cell system could achieve an electrical efficiency of up to 55%, offering potential fuel savings of 20-30% while enabling up to […]
In Denmark, Natural Material Studio has designed an entire home interior, including dining room, lounge, and bedroom, using bioplastic. Dubbed Utopia, the installation uses the studio’s Procel bioplastic and was on display during Copenhagen’s recent 3 Days of Design festival. “[Utopia] has for sure been the most challenging [installation] to date due to the complexity […]
In Denmark, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed a new, 100% biodegradable bioplastic from barley starch and sugarbeet waste. The team within the university’s Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences claim the new bioplastic biodegrades in just two months and could be used for food packaging, among other applications. “We have an enormous […]
