Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have turned to a process called capacitive deionization that uses the electric charges of nickel, manganese and cobalt to select them out from the waste stream. At some point there is a conversion step followed by a separations process. 2018.02.024.

Two product streams exit this reactor, free fatty acids (mixed with water) and sweet water (glycerol mixed with water). Water is removed from the free fatty acid (FFA) stream prior to the next processing step: deoxygenation. This step increases the energy efficiency of the process as well as minimizes waste streams.

On 29 September 2016, the HY4 aircraft took off on its first official flight from Stuttgart Airport. The fuel cell converts hydrogen directly into electrical energy. The only waste product from this process is water. The HY4 is the world’s first four-seat passenger aircraft powered solely by a hydrogen fuel cell system.

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. Second, while hydrogen can be otherwise produced through the electrolysis of water, this process requires huge amounts of clean and fresh water – a vital and highly valuable commodity of life that can’t be wasted.

Ambient or low grade waste heat is used as an energy source with the cryogen providing both the working fluid and heat sink. When ambient or low grade waste heat is reintroduced to liquid air it boils and turns back into a gas, expanding 710 times in volume. This can be used to drive an engine.
