Raven SR waste-to-hydrogen plant in California to be powered by INNIO Jenbacher’s Ready-for-H2 engines

Green Car Congress

At the site, landfill gas (LFG) will be the primary fuel to provide power for the non-combustion process that converts waste to hydrogen. The collaboration with Raven’s technology offers a strong renewable hydrogen alternative to electrolysis, using less electricity and no need for fresh water. Earlier post.).

The PSM drives convert electrical energy into power with great efficiency, smoothness, and sustained output while generating relatively little heat. Temperature sensors detect the cooling requirements in real time, while software ensures that the cooling water is immediately directed to the right spots. Payment is completely automatic.

Dresser-Rand licenses Expansion Energy VX Cycle technology for small-scale production of LNG

Green Car Congress

Dresser-Rand believes that the patented VX Cycle is the first technology to provide a cost-effective small-scale LNG production process with capacities as low as 1,500 gallons per day—smaller than any other LNG production system commercially available today. CO 2 and water are removed in a. prime mover for use as fuel.

Researchers develop four-step catalytic process to produce petroleum refinery feedstocks from biomass sugars

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers led by James Dumesic and George Huber, both now at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have demonstrated how C 5 sugars derived from hemicellulose can be converted into a high-quality petroleum refinery feedstock via a four-step catalytic process. —Olcay et al. per gallon in a large integrated biorefinery.
