NNL and DNV partner to explore large-scale nuclear production of hydrogen for UK gas network

Green Car Congress

The UK’s National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) and DNV are partnering to explore the potential of nuclear-derived hydrogen to support the conversion of UK gas networks to hydrogen. ANTs have the potential to play a major role in delivering net zero, and this scheme would consequently de-risk a future hydrogen gas network conversion programme.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Chemical plants on dedicated platforms then process part of the hydrogen, combining it with nitrogen to make ammonia, or with carbon dioxide to produce substitutes for fossil fuels. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy.

UN report finds world needs incremental $1.9 trillion invested in green technologies to avert planetary catastrophe; global per capita cap on primary energy consumption of 70 GJ/yr may be required

Green Car Congress

In addition, global carbon dioxide emissions have been increasing. The past decade was the first in two centuries with increasing CO2 emissions intensities, owing to a “coal revival”, in contrast with the rapid conversion to natural gas in the 1990s.

Millbrook joins APC-funded consortium to develop fuel cell range-extended electric LCVs

Green Car Congress

The three-year project will develop validated systems and vehicle conversion expertise ready for volume manufacture. It will provide a package that can be integrated into vehicles as an end-of-line fitment at an OEM, or through a new-vehicle conversion facility, or by retro-fitting at approved centers. million ($9.3-million)
