Port of Barcelona targets 100,000 tonnes of sustainable fuels annually

The Port of Barcelona aims to produce 100,000 tonnes of sustainable fuels per year, placing a strong emphasis on biomethane and synthetic fuels, as part of its approved energy transition plan to 2040. The Spanish maritime hub aims to become an emissions-neutral port by 2050 and halve its emissions by 2030 compared with 2017 levels. According to a statement, the port will no longer treat energy as a commodity “but as a strategic factor,” key to bolstering the competitiveness of the port and the surrounding area in an increasingly demanding global market. Its action plan comprises 150 actions, grouped into four main areas: decarbonising port activity; sustainability of energy consumption; resilience to guarantee energy supply and innovation to facilitate the emergence of new business models; and the adoption of emerging technologies. It notes that biomethane… Read More »Port of Barcelona targets 100,000 tonnes of sustainable fuels annually

Air Liquide invests in China ASU electric revamp in Yulin | Air Liquide News

Industrial gases major Air Liquide is to invest €25m in revamping its air separation unit (ASU) in Yulin, China. The upgrade will see the existing steam-driven ASU converted to a more efficient electricity-driven system by the end of 2027, reducing the unit’s CO2 emissions by 224,000 tonnes annually and offering a 10% increase in oxygen production capacity. The contract extension with a subsidiary of the Yanchang Group illustrates Air Liquide’s decarbonisation approach, which has already electrified two facilities in Tianjin, in line with the Chinese 2030/2060 carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. Total annual CO2 emissions reduction will ultimately reach 550,000 tonnes. In the meantime, the group said it will ensure the continuity of services and supply to the customer. The contract was signed in Beijing, during the visit of Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic.… Read More »Air Liquide invests in China ASU electric revamp in Yulin | Air Liquide News
