How to Improve Fuel Efficiency with Window Tint
If you think car window tinting is just to make your ride look stylish, think again. What if I told you this also saves significant fuel? Window tint keeps the interior of your car cooler by blocking most of the sun's rays.Window tint can significantly improve fuel efficiency by reducing solar heat gain inside the vehicle, thereby reducing reliance on air conditioning. By blocking incoming solar heat, tinted windows can lower interior temperatures by up to 60%, potentially reducing overall fuel consumption and costs over time. How Window Film Improves Fuel Efficiency car window film Acts as a powerful barrier against the penetrating heat of the sun, reducing the overall temperature inside the vehicle. When this sunlight is effectively filtered out, your car's interior remains noticeably cooler. The reduction in internal temperatures means you don't have to turn the air conditioner up as high, which is where fuel efficiency comes into play.Studies show that in hot weather, air conditioning can…

Ammonia: The future fuel for net-zero transport, but safe
As the maritime industry races to meet ambitious decarbonization targets set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), ammonia is emerging as a frontrunner for zero-emission ocean shipping. A survey conducted by Maersk McKinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (MMMCZCS) shows that 58.6% of maritime professionals are ready to accept ammonia-fueled ships, but significant challenges remain. IMO’s Greenhouse Gas Strategy: Driving towards zero emissions The IMO's 2023 greenhouse gas (GHG) strategy sets a target of reducing carbon intensity by 40% by 2030 and aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. To achieve these goals, the industry is actively exploring alternative fuels, and ammonia is evolving as a viable solution for decarbonizing shipping. Safety and training: the biggest hurdles While the survey results show growing acceptance of ammonia as a fuel, safety concerns are a major sticking point. Respondents emphasized that ammonia's toxicity requires new safety measures, including specialized ship design and reliable onboard fuel systems. One attendee noted, “Comprehensive training…
