Linde, BASF and SABIC have been awarded the ICIS Innovation Award 2024 for their groundbreaking electric cracker furnace. This innovative technology, the first of its kind to be built at demonstration scale, could significantly reduce CO2 emissions in the chemical industry. The award recognizes the companies’ commitment to sustainability and their leadership in developing cutting-edge solutions for a greener future.
GERI, a Canadian energy transition tech company, has unveiled its groundbreaking Direct Contact Steam Generation (DCSG) technology that promises to significantly enhance heavy oil recovery while dramatically reducing CO2 emissions. This innovative process combines steam and non-condensable gas injection into oil reservoirs, resulting in increased oil production and significantly lowered carbon intensity.
Skyven Technologies and Western New York Energy (WNYE) have joined forces to implement the Skyven Arcturus, the first industrial steam generating heat pump of its size in the United States. This innovative technology will reduce CO2 emissions at WNYE’s Medina facility by over 20,000 metric tons per year, showcasing a significant step towards a sustainable industrial future.
Swissport, a global leader in airport ground services, is intensifying its sustainability efforts at Basel and Geneva airports with the introduction of new electric vehicles. The company aims to align with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), committing to short-term CO2 reduction goals and transitioning to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. By the end of 2024, Swissport Basel will increase its electric ground support equipment (eGSE) to 49%, while Swissport Geneva, currently operating with 53% electric vehicles, plans to expand its electric vehicle portfolio to 58%.
