Singapore: PUB to build world’s largest facility to help remove CO2 from ocean

SINGAPORE – As part of its efforts to tackle climate change, Singapore will be constructing the world’s largest facility to boost the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.

Singapore Hydrogen Cooperation Committee believes that hydrogen fuel could become a driver for decarbonization in the Singapore aviation industry

CAG, CAAS, Airbus and Linde said the study’s liquid hydrogen consumption estimates were based on the premise that future hydrogen aircraft with capacities of about 100 […]
