In China, China Daily reported that researchers at East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai have unveiled a technology that converts leftover food waste into green fuel for vessels.
The project reached a milestone recently by successfully completing its pilot phase. The system produced green methanol that meets standards for maritime fuel usage, according to the report.
The project is a collaborative effort involving East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai CEO Technology, Shanghai Chengtou Group Corp, Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Co, and Shanggang Group Energy (Shanghai) Co.
The pilot system incorporates proprietary technologies, including electricity-driven biogas mixed reforming, green methanol synthesis, coupled heat pump distillation, and thermal integration optimization, the researchers said.
