In a pathbreaking innovation, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in partnership with Indian industries has developed India’s first indigenous high-temperature fuel cell.
Soon, you may be able to say goodbye to diesel generators (DG Sets) and instead use a fuel cell system run on green fuel like methanol/bio-methane with heat and water as by-products for further use.
This development would reduce India’s dependence on crude oil and promote the use of green and alternate fuels.
The development of fuel cell technology carries immense national importance as it also provides an alternative to grid power.
And, India can move towards non-grid energy security.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen and oxygen) directly into electricity.
Automotive Fuel Rail Market Research Report: Information by Fuel Type (Gasoline, Diesel, Alternative Fuel), Engine Type (Inline Engine, V-Engine), Material (Steel, Aluminum, others), Type of Pressure System (High-pressure, Low-pressure) - Forecast till 2023
An automotive fuel rail is also known as common rail fuel injection system.
Thus, it provides better control over the fuel injection timing and provides enhanced spray penetration and mixing.
Automotive fuel rail market has seen remarkable growth, globally and is expected to grow with the CAGR of ~3%.
The demand for advanced fuel-efficient delivery system is rising rapidly, owing to stringent emission norms and the need for fuel economy.
Strict government regulations regarding emissions are among the major driving factors of the global automotive fuel rail market.
September 27, 2019: GP Global has performed its first low sulphur fuel oil (LSFO) bunkering operation at the Port of Fujairah enabling it to supply adjoining ports too with International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2020 compliant standard fuel oil.
The maiden delivery was made via its 6,000-tonnes bunker barge.
Effective from January 2020, IMO 2020 directive sets global sulphur limit of 0.50 percent from 3.5 percent.
Anil Keswani, head of bunkering, East of Suez, GP Global, said, “We are thankful to the authorities of the Port of Fujairah and our partners for their continued trust in us, which has enabled us to undertake the first bunkering of LSFO, just in time as the IMO 2020 takes effect next year.
We are committed to supporting our partners and clients in meeting specifications, which will contribute a long way to securing a cleaner marine environment.”
GP Global’s GPB1 is capable of delivering a comprehensive suite of residual and distillate marine fuels, including low-sulphur marine gasoil (LSMGO), LSFO, 180 centistoke (CST) and 380 CST at the UAE ports.
