Enel Green Power and NextChem sign MoU for green hydrogen production in US

Green Car Congress

NextChem’s focus is on deploying solutions in carbon footprint reduction, in hydrogen production—green, blue and ‘circular’ (obtained by waste conversion), purification and storage, in plastics recycling, in the biofuels and in biochemicals.

Researchers use CaO catalyst to produce biodiesel/monoglyceride blend; avoiding waste glycerol

Green Car Congress

A team led by researchers at the University of Cordoba (Spain) have used a CaO alkaline heterogeneous catalyst to produce what they call a “second-generation biodiesel” blend composed of 2:1 molar mixture of conventional fatty acid methyl esters (FAME, or regular biodiesel) and monoglyceride (MG).

New simple, energy-efficient process for the direct production of renewable diesel from biomass waste

Green Car Congress

A team at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) has designed a new simple, energy-efficient process (that also does not require any organic solvents) for the production of renewable diesel from biomass waste. For example, the excessive cleavage of carboncarbon bonds and subsequent reformation leads to energy losses.

Uhde’s PRENFLO Gasification Process to be Part of 113M BioTfueL BTL Project in France

Green Car Congress

The process will include the drying and crushing of the biomass, torrefaction, gasification, purification of the synthesis gas and its ultimate conversion to second generation biofuels using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Carbon conversion is greater than 99%, and typical composition of the raw syngas is more than 85 vol.%

Manchester team proposing graphene-based ballistic rectifier for waste heat recovery

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Manchester (UK) have developed a graphene-based nano-rectifier (“ballistic rectifier”) that can convert waste heat to electricity. Conventional devices with similar conversion efficiencies require cryogenically low temperatures. In 2012, a team from the US, Spain and Sweden (Matthews et al.

Solar Smackdown in Torrance – Installer Sues City on Behalf of the Sun

Creative Greenius

Just two people live in its 3000+ energy-wasting square feet. It’s just this mind-blowing waste of time. I know these them, I lived in Japan I know these people, I’ve sat and had conversations with them. We’re behind Spain! Oh how it dwarfs the normal sized other homes all around it. I know these folks. BRAD (laughing).
