? Fueling carbon-free transport

Climate Tech VC

As energy demands increase for heavier and longer-distance transport, the energy efficiency equation for fossil based-fuels becomes harder to displace.

Let’s say we stop burning fossil fuels. What happens next?

Grist

We talk so much about the supreme challenge of reducing emissions — something that already requires transitioning our entire economy away from the burning of fossil fuels, adapting to existing climate threats, and doing all that in a way that at the very least doesn’t add to the burdens of already marginalized communities.

Heat: A policy chasm on the route towards net zero

Business Green

It's the third element which is the most interesting with two key and contrasting takeaways: (1) the actual proposal for cash support for low carbon heating systems is minimal and far from aligned with goals for net zero (2) the language and style of the consultation is transformational.

How to build a green hydrogen refinery for the maritime industry in Rotterdam

Mr. Sustainability

It provides an overview of the existing fossil infrastructure and fuel consumption, which technologies are required to transform, how much it would cost and who are actually working on it. If we want to create synthetic fuel for the marine industry and use hydrogen as a feedstock, we could end up needing in excess of 50GW.
