The first 100 days of the Biden-Harris administration could be a whirlwind of climate action. The United States will seek to rejoin the Paris Agreement, and other initiatives could bring investment in green jobs and infrastructure and new clean energy incentives. The Biden Plan for A Clean Energy Revolution considers a number of industries and includes efforts to reduce the cost of “green” hydrogen production. That’s great, but even more can be done to support hydrogen’s potential for shipping.
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Dec 17, 2020, 1:00 PM CST Natural gas production and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, including in the United States, could get a boost from a relatively new and not-so-self-evident revenue stream the global shipping industry. Driven by stricter sulfur emissions standards and the ongoing global drive towards a lower-carbon future, the world’s top shipping operators and manufacturers are raising the share of vessels in the fleet powered by alternative fuels. LNG has so far emerged as the top choice among fuels alternative to marine gasoil and low-sulfur fuel oil to power ships, paving the way for another growth opportunity for the natural gas and LNG industries.

This Hydrogen-Powered Plane Startup Just Raised $21 Million From Bill Gates, Amazon and More Martin Lerma
Hydrogen-powered planes may be the way of the future if California-based startup ZeroAvia has its way. And with $21.4 million in new funding under its belt, that may just happen sooner than we think.
Its new injection of cash comes courtesy of Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures, which should help it reach its goal of developing commercially viable, zero-emissions aircraft. And the Microsoft founder isn’t the only one vying to support the potentially aviation-shifting venture: Amazon and Shell also count themselves as investors.
