Comparing green fuels for marine engines—Part 1
The marine shipping industry, which accounts for 80% of global trade and 3% of annual global carbon emissions,<sup>1</sup> must adhere to stringent International Maritime Organization (IMO) goals of reducing total annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 50% below 2008 levels by 2050.<sup>2</sup>
Construction
Eni plans to launch its 3.4-MMtpy FLNG vessel offshore Mozambique this year. The Coral Sul FLNG vessel is being built by Samsung Heavy Industries.

Business Trends: Battle of the biofuels: Renewable diesel vs. biodiesel
As new low-carbon diesel fuels and blends become more readily available, it is important to understand the differences between them and how each impacts engine performance.
Control valve design challenges for green diesel processes
Green (or renewable) diesel is a biofuel that offers several advantages over biodiesel, so many refineries are increasingly including it in their production portfolios.
Key considerations for design and operation of a renewable diesel unit
Design of the process configuration and operation of the unit are fundamental aspects in the production of renewable diesel.
Oil refinery/petrochemical integration in a CO2-constrained world—Part 2
Petrochemical demand will increase with gross domestic product, while the demand for motor fuels will only show modest growth and may even decline in certain regions, given environmental/legislative pressures and the introduction of battery-powered electric vehicles.
MAA refinery—Bunker fuel oil challenge: Stable and compatible VLSFO production
Studies have been conducted on strategies for bunker fuel oil (BFO) production with reduced sulfur and catalytic fines concentration limits.
