Tier III, which will enter into force January 2016, will require a reduction of the existing Tier I NOx level by 80% across the entire speed limit for new marine engines, even if only in defined local areas near shore. These new requirements impose a sense of urgency in developing future emission control technologies [...]

Caterpillar Marine Power Systems recently had the opportunity to demonstrate its emissions reduction technology at a Diesel Technology Forum, held September 2009, in Washington, D.C., U.S.A. The forum provided policymakers an up close and personal view of technology that makes for a more rounded and realistic understanding of the importance of diesel and the progress [...]

Making Use of Associated Gas
In the early days of oil exploration, natural gas was considered an unwelcome byproduct. As reservoirs were tapped in the drilling process, workers were forced to stop drilling to let the gas vent freely into the air CO2 and all. Now, natural gas is considered an important source of energy, accounting for [...]

Methane To Markets Partnership Spurs GHG Reductions
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a report that shows the international Methane to Markets (M2M) Partnership has significantly reduced methane emissions. In 2008, U.S.-supported M2M projects delivered methane emissions reductions of more than 26 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent, roughly the annual greenhouse gas [...]

Alstom and TransAlta Launch Project Pioneer
Alstom and Canadian power company TransAlta —along with their partners in the governments of Canada and Alberta, and Capital Power, an independent power producer— have announced the creation of a partnership to construct a large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) demonstration facility at one of TransAlta’s coal-fired generating stations [...]

Emissions Driving ICL Technology
Driven by electricity rather than gas ICL technology saves energy and avoids associated CO2 emissions. Using a typical 8 MW ICL rather than a comparably sized gas turbine-driven compressor can reduce CO2 emissions by 60% or more.
Introduced in 2007, integrated compressor line (ICL) technology from GE Oil & Gas is an integrated system [...]

Low Emission Water/Steam Cycle – A Contribution to Environment and Economics (Source: Siemens Energy)
Peter Mürau, Dr. Michael Schöttler, Siemens Power Generation, (PG) Germany
Abstract
Avoiding emissions is a general goal nowadays. On one hand producing emissions affects the project profitability due to additional initial and life cycle costs like expenses for waste water disposals and the subsequent supply [...]
