X-Press Feeders launches green methanol feeder network
X-Press Feeders has started Europe ’ s first scheduled feeder network serviced by green methanol-powered vessels . At the same time , the company has held a naming and christening
ceremony for its first dual-fuel methanolpowered containership . The launch of Europe ’ s first green methanolfueled network took place on July 9 and it starts with Rotterdam and Antwerp Bruges to Finland and the Baltics . It will enable companies in Europe to now have a regularly scheduled network that can ship goods in a way that has less impact on the environment , and helping them to better achieve their sustainability goals , said X-Press Feeders Chief Operating Officer , Francis Goh . This industry milestone is a result of X-Press Feeders ’ collaboration with several partners , such as the ports of Antwerp Bruges ,
HaminaKotka , Helsinki , Klaipeda , Riga , and Tallinn . According to Goh , X-Press Feeders chose northern Europe for the first routes in the network because it found that customers in this part of Europe were most receptive to the company ’ s plans for sustainable shipping . The company selected the Port of Rotterdam as the base for Europe ’ s first feeder network powered by green methanol because “ Rotterdam is Europe ’ s largest port and is fully equipped to handle green methanol refueling ”. X-Press Feeders added it will use green methanol that is independently certified in Europe under International Sustainability and Carbon Certification ( ISCC ).

Alufluor AB sets new standard in sustainability with heat recovery system
iWAYS is excited to announce that the first innovative Heat Pipe Condensing Economiser ( HPCE ) has been commissioned at the project partner Alufluor AB in Sweden and is running . The aluminium fluoride producer is now heating all their washing water with recycled energy ! “ Until now , viable indirect condensing economisers from exhaust streams were not available ”, explains inventor and iWAYS technical director Prof . Hussam Jouhara from Brunel University London . “ What we have demonstrated now is that it is doable to recover heat , water , and material using existing materials and knowledge .” The launch of the iWAYS system at Alufluor is a major milestone for all participants . “ In the chemical process industry , everyone works hard to achieve energy savings ”, says Hanna Sjöberg , CEO of Alufluor . “ And while the small , incremental improvements in energy efficiency we normally see are valuable , there are rare moments when disruptive innovation leads to a substantial breakthrough . This is one of those moments for us .”
