What Does The Industrial Strategy Say About Bioenergy?
The transition to a greener energy sector and a low-carbon economy are both essential if Britain is to meet its Net Zero targets without undermining the industries that generate wealth and economic growth. That means the government’s new industrial strategy needs to deliver on both counts. A key section of the strategy is that relating […]
Is Sustainable Biofuel Crucial To The Future Of Aviation?
One of the biggest priorities in the transportation sector is sustainability, and a key to decarbonising carbon-intensive industries such as aviation and heavy freight shipping will be sustainable biofuels. This requires some adaptations in order to produce and store vast quantities of biofuel suitable for use as jet fuel or in blends with existing kerosene […]
What Are The Differences Between Biofuels And Electrofuels?
The future of transportation will consist of battery-powered electric vehicles and the use of sustainably sourced fuels such as biofuels, and the latter will require a range of relief valves and other safety systems to ensure it is produced, stored and transported safely. Whilst biofuels are the most commonly known, they are not the only […]
What Are Drop-In Biofuels & Why Are They Vital For Industry?
For many industries, the transition away from fossil fuels will be somewhat fragmented, and instead of there being a perfect one-size-fits-all replacement, there will be a wide range of different sustainable fuel sources, each of which has different production and safe storage needs. The transportation sector is moving at different speeds and in different directions […]
How Can Heavy Marine Drop-In Biofuel Be Carbon Negative?
Biofuel requires somewhat flexible equipment during the production and storage phases due to the often intense forces required to turn biomass into fuels that can be used as a drop-in replacement for existing engines. This means that they need careful management of environmental conditions and pressure relief systems that can manage the sometimes variable conditions […]
What Was The First Motorsport To Exclusively Use Biofuels?
The future of motoring will rely far less on petrol and diesel fuels and the fuels that will be used will increasingly take the form of synthetic e-fuels and biofuel. The safety infrastructure is in place for this transition, with vacuum relief valves available to ensure that the fuel can be prepared and stored safely […]
What Was The World’s First Large-Scale Biofuel Programme?
As many industries shift away from a reliance on fossil fuels and towards alternative energy sources, it can be somewhat beneficial to examine how some rather similar challenges have been tackled in the past. A good example of this can be found in biofuel; whilst today the tanks, relief valves and infrastructure to efficiently produce […]
How Did A Pioneering Biofuel Racing Car Change Motoring?
Biofuel will be part of the future of motoring for as long as hybrid cars are and will have a significant role to play in the present and future of motorsport. This means that biofuel and biogas tanks with carefully designed vacuum relief valves will be essential for driving the future. In the world of motorsport, […]
Why Global Biogas Production Is Set To Grow Massively
The benefits of biogas as a means of energy production are obvious to many: it can be used as an alternative to fossil fuel without the carbon footprint, and it is easier to access. Its growth has not been inevitable, however, with much depending on a changing relationship between food and biofuel. In the past, […]
Pharma Giant AstraZeneca Opens Lincolnshire Biogas Plant
Pharmaceuticals giant AstraZeneca may be best known for its Covid vaccine and a range of other medications, but it is also a firm with high ambitions to power all its UK and overseas operations with renewable energy by the end of this year. The Anglo-Swedish company has taken a major step towards this goal by opening […]
