Researchers at Korea University develop high-performance textile-based electrodes for watersplitting

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Korea University have developed high-performance, textile-based electrodes for watersplitting (WSE); the non-noblemetal-based electrodes can generate a large amount of hydrogen with low overpotentials and high operational stability. 2 for the HER and 186 mV at 50 mA cm ?2 2 and a low cell voltage of 1.70

Argonne-led team develops new low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for PEM electrolysis

Green Car Congress

A multi-institutional team led by the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has developed a low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for the production of hydrogen in a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE). The cathode catalyst yields hydrogen, while the anode catalyst forms oxygen.

Wärtsilä and partners developing emissions-free barge concept

Green Car Congress

The concept is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. With the help of a 2000 kWh Repack container, an inland vessel can sail for two to four hours. The other founders of ZES are ING Bank, energy and technical service provider Engie, and the Port of Rotterdam Authority.

KAUST team devises electrically-driven membrane process for seawater lithium mining

Green Car Congress

Unlike conventional membrane processes where the transport proceeds down the concentration gradient, the electrically-driven membrane process can up-grade the concentration; this system has been commercialised for use in the purification of hydrogen.

SDTC awards C$1.5M to support Molten Salt Catalyzed Gasification for hydrogen production; targeting reduced GHG footprint for oil sands synthetic crude

Green Car Congress

Source: Western Hydrogen. A consortium led by Canada-based Western Hydrogen Ltd. A consortium led by Canada-based Western Hydrogen Ltd. Hydrogen is necessary in the upgrading of oil sands bitumen into synthetic crude, but it is a costly and carbon-intensive part of the process, given current hydrogen production technologies.
