Rolls-Royce successfully tests 12-cylinder mtu engine with pure hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Rolls-Royce has conducted successful tests of a 12-cylinder gas variant of the mtu Series 4000 L64 engine running on 100% hydrogen fuel. For several months, the mtu gas engine has been undergoing bench testing and continuous improvement in terms of efficiency, performance, emissions and combustion using 100% hydrogen as fuel.

Heat Pumps—The Well-Tempered Future of A/Cs

Cars That Think

Heath has great job security: half of Phoenix residents are at risk of an emergency room visit or worse if their electricity fails during a future heat wave, according to a recent study. But to get the air conditioner’s compressor working in the first place, a faraway power plant had to produce a surge of electricity.

SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

SGH2’s gasification process uses a plasma-enhanced thermal catalytic conversion process optimized with oxygen-enriched gas. The end result is high purity hydrogen and a small amount of biogenic carbon dioxide, which is not additive to greenhouse gas emissions. But, until now, it has been too expensive to adopt at scale.
