Chemical Challenger, a 𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫 operated by 𝐃𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, has made waves in the 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 by becoming the first vessel to be awarded the 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐆𝐇𝐆 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥 for its innovative use of wind technology. Equipped with 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝's ground breaking 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐅𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝-𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦, the 16,000-ton tanker has undergone a remarkable retrofit, setting a global precedent. With four 16-meter-high aluminium wind sails, the vessel aims to slash its CO2 emissions by 10% annually, demonstrating a tangible commitment to sustainability. The recognition from 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 underscores the significance of embracing renewable energy sources in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩'𝐬 𝐂𝐄𝐎, 𝐍𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐳, lauded the achievement, emphasizing the company's dedication to environmental stewardship and industry leadership. Developed by 𝐃𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝, the VentoFoil system utilizes innovative vacuum technology to maximize wind force, projecting an equivalent sail area of 30 by 30 meters. This technological leap is expected to curtail the Chemical Challenger's yearly CO2 emissions by around 850 tons, akin to the impact of over 500 passenger cars. 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 (𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐓), 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐲, hailed the milestone as a testament to the ongoing commitment to sustainable maritime practices. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫's pioneering voyage symbolizes a significant stride towards a cleaner, greener future for the shipping sector, setting a new standard for environmentally conscious operations. #GreenShipping #SustainableShipping #RenewableEnergy #WindTechnology #Innovation #GreenAward #GHGLabel #Chemship #Econowind #VentoFoil #CO2Reduction #EnvironmentalImpact #MaritimeIndustry #CleanerOperations #ClimateAction #Leadership NC: Offshore Energy

Energised by forward thinking disruptive innovations looking to transform carbon emitting industries towards a more sustainable future through leveraging the power of renewable resources. Sometimes in order to connect the dots looking forward we must connect the dots looking backwards, in this case a testament to histories seafaring sailing past ⛵️ https://lnkd.in/gjRD6kMf

🚢 Did you know that around 100'000 shipping vessels navigate the world's sees, primarily relying on fossil-based fuels? At #Clariant, we're leading the change, at the forefront of innovation, with our #catalyst technology. Our innovation allows us to convert captured CO2 into #GreenMethanol, offering a renewable alternative for maritime transport. This marks a significant milestone in the global #EnergyTransition. 👀 Watch how we innovate for #GreaterChemistry. #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow #SustainableAviationFuel

As the world grapples with the environmental impact of #carbon emissions and stricter regulations, the #maritime industry is undergoing a profound transmission. We discuss various aspects of maritime's green transition, including: - Regulatory Drivers: The #IMO pushing the boundaries of innovative solutions - Alternative Marine Fuels: The future of #LNG, hydrogen, ammonia and biofuel - Environmental Data & Analytics: The importance of monitoring #data according to Mathieu Carlier, CEO & Founder of Everimpact Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gwf69_VX

Throughout Europe and also in Asia, the Middle East and across the Americas, the state-of-the-art Ephyra plug-flow digestion technology of Royal HaskoningDHV is considered a key technology to achieve net zero using a sustainable and robust solution for anaerobic digestion: Enhancing society together!

The ABLC Next conference recently took place in San Francisco, bringing together leading companies, project developers, investors and government agencies to promote and advance the bioeconomy. During the opening panel session, Dr. Alexander Koukoulas, Director at AFRY Management Consulting, addressed the potential of forest biomass in the United States. Woody biomass was highlighted for its clear advantages, but there was also recognition of increasing competition for this resource. This competition is expected to intensify, particularly as hard-to-decarbonise sectors and the traditional forest products industry increase their demand for wood. The conference focused on several themes, including: ♟️ Strategies for expediting project development and increasing the availability of advanced fuels and chemicals ☁️ Approaches to curbing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, for example, carbon capture and sequestration, the use of biochar and achieving the goal of net zero 📡 The role of public policy in establishing effective incentives that can generate compelling market signals for investments 💡 The current technological landscape and emerging innovations that can drive down the production costs of advanced fuels and chemicals while introducing novel low-carbon solutions to the market Read the full insights: https://lnkd.in/dttRsWij Jim Lane, Esa Sipilä, Henna Poikolainen, Soile Kilpi, Jose Gonzalez, Sanna Sosa #makingfuture #managementconsulting #sustainability #bioindustry #decarbonisation #netzero

We’re taking the next step toward a more sustainable future 🌎. Today, we have signed a Letter of Intent with our partner, SWANCOR HOLDING CO., LTD. Starting in 2026, the resin supplied from Swancor to Siemens Gamesa will be all recyclable. 🤝 The collaboration strengthens our #RecyclableBlade production capacity and shows we can enhance sustainability through our partnerships. The RecyclableBlade, launched in 2021, is a game-changer and is key to our #CircularEconomy vision🚀. It's designed so that up to 95% of the blade's raw materials can be separated and reused. Our RecyclableBlades and ongoing partnerships put us on track to meet our ambitious goal of making fully recyclable turbines by 2040. Together, we're not just making wind energy more sustainable, we're driving #GreenInnovation forward for a brighter, cleaner future. 💚🌍🍃. #EnergyTransition #WindEnergy 

Pushing for a green maritime industry 🛳💚 More than 99% of the current fleet is running on conventional fossil-based fuels. Luckily this is changing, and according to DNV, 21% of new contracts in the last 12 months are to run on alternative fuel. BUT... New technologies are needed to get the industry to net zero❗ New technologies that provide efficient use of green fuels like methanol 💧 New technologies that will reduce the cost of going green 💚 But new technologies also need to be scaled, and that is exactly what we have been working on for the past months. Stay tuned to find out what it is our CEO and Co-founder Anders Korsgaard and our maritime team are looking at 😉 #makeadifference #fuelcells #methanol #maritimedecarbonisation #greenshipping #netzero

The world relies on energy Whether you’re an apple, a Tesla, a cheetah, a bear or an office block - without energy you can’t exist Sustainable, clean green renewable energy is the future - and industrial hemp based, sustainable, clean, green. Renewable energy solutions are the answer. UGP global energy and our collaborative partners are part of that solution. Zero waste circular economy, non fossil fuel or deforestation related solution. If that’s you ! Be part of the solution and join us - it’s all about collaboration as we can’t do this alone.
