In Sweden, for the first time, St1 and St1 Biokraft have delivered their own Swedish-produced liquefied biomethane to the maritime sector — as Terntank’s vessel Tern Ocean was bunkered at the Port of Gothenburg. St1 and St1 Biokraft are now aiming to become large-scale suppliers of biomethane for shipping, while the Port of Gothenburg continues […]
In Sweden, researchers at Chalmers University have used an advanced model that includes more technologies and a higher level of detail than previous similar studies. The model also shows how all society sectors affect each other within the energy system. The new study thus provides an expanded knowledge base for policy development – not least […]
In Sweden, high-starch algae are important in biofuel production, as a feed supplement in agriculture and as an efficient way to bind carbon dioxide. Researchers at Uppsala University have now found a new method to control starch storage in algae—a finding with potential applications in areas such as reducing greenhouse gases. In the new study, […]
In Sweden, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions introduced the Wärtsilä Gas Solutions Puregas BC, for purifying and liquefying the carbon dioxide captured from biogas upgrading plants, enabling a robust, energy efficient, carbon negative, and profitable process for plant owners. Traditional biogas upgrading plants have been based on the ‘catch and release’ of the carbon dioxide. Instead of […]
In Sweden, as a groundbreaking move toward a more sustainable future for the offshore industry, Northern Offshore Services announces the delivery of the world’s first 100% biomethanol-powered crew transfer vessel (CTV).
