Easiest and most cost-efficient way for lowering your fleet's CII !

Congratulations on selling 4,000 units of PBCF (Propeller Boss Cap Fins) for energy-saving device for ships!! PBCF was co-developed by MOL, West Japan Fluid Engineering Laboratory, and Nakashima Propeller in 1986, and went on sale by MOL in 1987. In 2000, sales operations were transferred to MOL Tech, which has been selling the PBCF. It was the first device in the world to be commercialized to recover the energy wasted in the vortex that forms behind a rotating propeller and increase the thrust by breaking up this vortex. Analysis has shown that equipping a vessel with PBCF results in energy savings of 3% to 5%. PBCF has been the best-selling energy-saving device for ships, and is continuing to increase sales record. https://hubs.ly/Q0255tvh0 The MOL Group aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and we forge ahead with initiatives on "Enhancement of Energy-Saving Technologies" by leveraging Marine Knowledge and Technologies accumulated in its about 140 years of history, including this PBCF project, and contributes to improvement of vessel fuel efficiency and reduction of environmental impact.

Optimized plant operation through 1:1 simulation at GKS Schweinfurt Peter Lasch, Division Manager for Technology and Operation, EKu.SIM states: "The T3000 Simulator trains the handling of the control system, and we complement this with process engineering. The result is a perfect training environment, in which the simulation behaves exactly like the plant. " In our brandnew story you can learn how the GKS staff can test different scenarios, optimize processes, and control the plants safely by using our Omnivise T3000 Simulator in conjunction with external process models.

Topsoe today announced plans to build a cutting-edge factory in Chesterfield, Virginia, US. The factory will manufacture advanced, energy-efficient Solid Oxide #Electrolyzer Cells (SOEC), which are essential for the efficient production of clean #hydrogen and derivatives such as #eAmmonia and #eMethanol.   With a planned capacity of more than 1 GW, the factory’s output of electrolyzer stacks will enable an annual greenhouse gas emission avoidance of up to 2 million tonnes CO₂e – the equivalent of avoiding the emissions from more than 400,000 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for a year.   Subject to Final Investment Decision, this more than $400-million investment is expected to create at least 150 direct jobs in Virginia and more than 1,000 indirect jobs through the value chain.   The decision by Topsoe to announce its plan for its largest investment in the US to date comes after the company received an allocation for nearly $136 million in federal Section 48C tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act.

🌟 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐆𝐂 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞! 🌟 As part of its roadmap to carbon neutrality, AGC is making significant strides towards sustainability. The company is focusing on switching to new key technologies, sustainable raw materials, alternative energies, and increased glass recycling to reduce process-related and indirect emissions. 🔌 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨-𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐎𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 An interdisciplinary AGC team is currently installing electro-boosting on various float glass production lines at the Osterweddingen site in Germany. This innovative technology directly uses electricity as a source of melting energy, aiming to partially electrify AGC’s production lines. The installation involves drilling operations in the floor (bottom refractories) of a hot furnace while it’s in operation—a challenging task carried out by efficient teamwork. This installation is ongoing after successful implementations in Moustier (Belgium) and Seingbouse (France). 🔥 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨-𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 Electro-boosting is one of the breakthrough technologies developed at the 𝐀𝐆𝐂 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞. By reducing direct emissions caused during raw material melting with fossil fuels, electro-boosting plays a crucial role in AGC’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The goal? A 30% reduction in direct emissions by 2030. Let’s celebrate this major achievement as AGC continues its journey towards a sustainable future! 🌎🌿 #AGCGlass #Sustainability #Innovation #CarbonNeutrality

It’s official: Centrus has begun producing High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) in Piketon, Ohio. The cascade is the first new U.S.-owned, U.S.-technology uranium enrichment facility to begin production of #HALEU since 1954, creating the fuel needed to power the next generation of advanced reactors.   Watch this video from the historic cascade activation event to learn more about the milestone: https://lnkd.in/g9HtxW8x

Safety first! Safety is the core value at Saft. Here is one additional example that li-ion battery can be safe when safety rules at design level and production quality is respected everytime, everywhere for everybody.

OLOA 59361’s unique value is versatility and lower carbon capability. It is compatible with a wide range of base oils, including #rerefined base stocks, demonstrating flexibility in formulation while supporting lower carbon solutions. Furthermore, its biodiesel compatibility and #RRBO capabilities align with global trends towards alternative fuels, marking Chevron Oronite’s proactive stance in helping end-customers with #lowercarbonsolutions.
