John Cockerill achieves certification for H2-ready HRSGs

John Cockerill has announced the award of a concept certificate from TÜV-SÜD for the H2-readiness of its heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs).

Ren-Gas selects MAN Energy Solutions’ methanation technology for its Tampere eMethane plant

MAN Energy Solutions will deliver a 50-MW methanation reactor for the Ren-Gas Tampere eMethane plant. The equipment delivery will consist of a catalytic methanation reactor, designed and manufactured at MAN Energy Solutions in Deggendorf, Germany.

Liquid Wind, Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy to partner on eFuel facility in Finland

Liquid Wind and Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy (TSE) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the development of an eFuel facility in Naantali, Finland.

Decarbonization pathway for net-zero by 2050: Carbon neutrality roadmap strategy for an integrated refinery and petrochemical facility

This article quantifies GHG emissions from various sources, such as fired heaters and boilers, within refinery and petrochemical operations. Based on these quantified emissions, a tailored carbon neutrality roadmap is developed, incorporating carbon reduction, mitigation and offsetting strategies.

Ammonia decomposition—Hydrogen carrier value chain

Ammonia (NH3) is emerging as one of the most promising H2 carriers, offering solutions to several critical challenges associated with H2 storage and transportation. As H2 is increasingly recognized as a pivotal component in the transition to a carbon-free energy future, efficient storage and transportation systems have become crucial for its widespread adoption. 

Power up: Considerations to help understand the potential of cogeneration

Combined heat and power, also known as cogeneration, converts one form of energy to two usable forms, typically heat and power. By simultaneously producing onsite electricity and heat, cogeneration systems can provide reliable energy at reduced overall costs. Cogeneration is a very effective pathway to executing decarbonization strategies when coupled with renewable natural gas or other low-carbon fuels. 

Ebullated bed hydrocracking: A process and mechanical upset scenario

The purpose of this article is to describe, analyze and suggest some technical peculiarities and criticalities that can affect the operation and safety of ebullated bed hydrocracking technology units—a process and mechanical upset scenario during emergency shutdown.

Distillation of a mixture containing CO2, CH4 and H2—Part 2

This article describes a method for the simultaneous separation of a mixture containing hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which may result from certain shifted synthesis gas (syngas) mixtures.

Monetizing carbon capture, transport and storage

At the time of this publication, Gulf Energy Information’s Global Energy Infrastructure (GEI) database was tracking more than 440 active carbon capture projects around the world. These projects include carbon capture projects, hubs and storage facilities. An alternative market for the captured carbon and subsequent credits are the commitments by companies to reduce overall emissions, or even achieve net-zero operations. Such a company may choose to purchase CO2 removal credits to offset their emissions. These credits can be generated and sold by capturing emitted carbon and permanent sequestration. For either system to work, a digital trail must be accurate for companies to buy and sell carbon, as explained in this work.
