Hydrogen, the most abundant element, is an efficient energy carrier and a preferred zero-emission alternative fuel source. Traditionally, hydrogen is extracted from natural gas (CH₄) through a steam reforming process involving high-temperature steam and a catalytic reactor. This method, however, produces by-products such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) — approximately 9 kilograms per kilogram of hydrogen […]
As India builds out its gas infrastructure, natural gas can find multiple uses in India’s energy system, including to help meet air quality and near‐term emissions goals as promised in the Paris Agreement. The CNG vehicle market in India is growing rapidly and has witnessed a yearly growth of 35% from 2023 to 2024. According […]
Testing and certifying high-pressure gas cylinders are crucial to ensure their safety and reliability. Here’s an overview of the typical processes involved: Visual Inspection: Before any testing begins, a visual inspection is conducted to check for any visible signs of damage, corrosion, or other defects on the cylinder’s exterior. This includes examining the cylinder’s neck, […]
The Need for alternate fuels to replace oil coal, and natural gas (fossil fuels) to meet ever increasing demand for energy has been experiencing significant growth potential in various sectors. With the urgency to tackle global temperature increase because of greenhouse gases emissions resulting from the use of fossil fuels, and certain natural systems, fast […]
High-pressure gases play a crucial role across various industries due to their unique properties and applications. Here’s an overview of their role, applications, and advancements: 1. Manufacturing Processes: High-pressure gases are used in manufacturing processes such as metal fabrication, welding, and cutting. For instance, in welding, gases like argon, helium, and carbon dioxide besides Oxygen […]
Like any vehicle, electric vehicles (EVs) too face issues related to tire life and maintenance. However, there are some specific considerations for EVs which have a higher impact and reduced tyre life. A point that Industry failed to focus on, is the issues related to reduced tyre life and consequences of pollution related to tyre […]
Filament winding is a specialized manufacturing process used to create composite structures, particularly those with cylindrical shapes such as pipes, pressure vessels, and rocket casings. It involves the precise and controlled application of continuous fibers (such as carbon fiber or glass fiber) onto a rotating mandrel or mould, which is then cured to create a […]
It is heartening to see the Central Government, working aggressively on an alternate fuel technology to gradually replace diesel and petrol for all vehicles and transportation vehicles in particular focus. The goal is to significantly reduce atmospheric pollution as committed to Paris agreement. As a part of this effort Government has sanctioned construction of numerous […]
Electric or Hydrogen powered Vehicles Determining whether electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles are “better” depends on various factors, including environmental impact, infrastructure development, energy efficiency, and practicality. Let’s compare both technologies across several key Areas. 1. Environmental Impact: Electric Vehicles (EVs): EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, […]
In the new global scenario of reducing emission and pollution control, alternate fuel vehicles, electric vehicles, Hydrogen powered vehicles are emerging as alternates.Alternate fuel vehicles, particularly Gas powered, (CNG) is gaining lot of traction. CNG is replacing diesel powered vehicles in large numbers. Electric is emerging as an alternate, despite many challenges.With their eco-friendly operation […]
