5 Maritime Sustainability Trends for 2022

The Environmental Blog

This is in conjunction with the industry’s shift towards battery-powered vessels such as the Yara Birkeland and China’s Zhongtiandianyun 001. There are a handful of potential alternatives, such as ammonia, methane, and methanol, but current technology is still incapable of making them viable for larger-scale use.

Examining the emerging hydrogen industry in Australia

Renewable Energy World

Mature Thermochemical technologies include steam methane reforming (SMR) which relies on natural gas as an input and coal gasification which relies on coal. Other emerging technologies include using biomass to produce syngas and methane cracking. Gas prices currently remain high compared to some overseas markets.

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

Mr. Sustainability

Shell - Gas to liquids (GTL) | Shell Natural Gas. This is the practice where natural gas is separated into hydrogen and CO2. Aviation and maritime shipping industries will only become fully electric on the assumption that miracle batteries are invented and produced at scale. That thing is floating solar.

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

Mr. Sustainability

This is the practice where natural gas is separated into hydrogen and CO2, where the hydrogen is used for the petrochemical industry and CO2 is simply released into the atmosphere. Aviation and maritime shipping industries will only become fully electric on the assumption that miracle batteries are invented and produced at scale.
