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 […]
How Did A Record-Breaking Turbine Car Change Gas Safety?
Beyond a duty of care and legal requirements, the use of flame arresters and relief valves on flammable gas tanks is a vital part of ensuring the safety and proper operation of extraction operations, storage and transportation of volatile materials. These systems continue to be developed to advance the safety credentials of the handling of unsafe […]
Brewer Adnams To Embrace Biogas In The Future?
Brewing is a process that, in many ways, is not unlike the creation of biogas. While fermentation is not the same thing as anaerobic digestion, both involve the modification of natural processes in controlled environments in big tanks. The final products are certainly different, with beer for people to drink and biogas for energy, but […]
Where Next For Biogas In UK After Lincolnshire Rejection?
To many, the use of anaerobic digestion to produce biogas is the future. It is organic, does not produce carbon emissions, is non-radioactive and can use fuel sourced in this country rather than relying on imports. Sadly, instead of the sound of engineers fitting pressure relief valves on large anaerobic digestion tanks at Sewstern near Gunby […]
Dialysis Process ‘Very Effective’ For Wastewater Treatment
As the water crisis deepens around us and it becomes increasingly necessary to find new ways of operating that protect the environment and safeguard resources for the future, research is now ongoing to identify more effective ways of treating wastewater. A new collaboration between experts at Rice University and Guangdong University of Technology has found that […]
LNG ‘Preferred Alternative Fuel Choice’ For Maritime Industry
The last few years have seen the maritime industry become increasingly committed to decarbonisation, finding more sustainable ways of operating in response to consumer demands for more eco-friendly business practices and liner companies starting to replace older tonnage. As such, interest in alternative fuels has surged, with 69 per cent of all orders for container […]
