The first integrated industrial CNG compression, transport and decompression project in Mexico has been running successfully for 10 years. The initiative was conceptualized and developed by Promotora Energética E3 for Hortícola Cimarrón, located in San Felipe, State of Guanajuato, and has Canadian technology from IMW.
The equipment is designed to transport 1.0 ton of hydrogen on the US roads and more than 1.3 ton on EU roads, with a working pressure of 517 bar (7,500 psi). Calvera and Shell have been working together for more than two years on the engineering and technological development of this project, which will take its first steps in the US and Germany.
The facility will be producing 120 gigawatt hours (GWh) worth of bio-LNG per year from early 2025 onwards. It will process approximately 400,000 tons of feedstock yearly. Gasum is investing nearly 54 million euros in the plant, of which 15 million has been provided as a grant from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s Klimatklivet program.
Heavy-duty transport is a vital sector for the functioning of the internal market and a suitable regulatory framework shall support the development of clean vehicles using different technologies and fuels. Decarbonization is an immediate challenge and all options that can have a rapid impact need to be enabled. Sustainable and renewable fuels can speed up this process.
The financial figures for 2022 once again confirm the growth trend of recent years for this Italian company specialized in the design and manufacture of cryogenic pumps, with a turnover increase of 32% compared to 2021. This increase is mainly due to the progressive process of decarbonization of maritime transport and the growing use of LNG in this sector.
Wärtsilä will supply dual fuel engines and high-performance axial flow waterjets for a new high-speed ro-pax ferry. The ship, the ‘Margarita Salas’, is being built at Astilleros Armon Gijon in Spain on behalf of the Spanish shipping company Baleària.
