LSBU researchers investigating metal hydride hydrogen storage for buses

Green Car Congress

On demand, the hydrogen is released from the hydride (endothermic reaction), utilizing the waste heat of the fuel cell. Thermal management for charging and releasing hydrogen from the storage system needs to be optimized to increase overall efficiency. From Adelhelm & Jongh (2011).

H2 Green Steel and BMW Group sign final agreement on delivery of CO2-reduced steel

Green Car Congress

In a pioneering move, both companies have therefore agreed to have 40% of the pre-consumer steel scrap of the volumes returned to H2 Green Steel's electric arc furnaces for re-cycling. The plant will be fully integrated, with hot charging at each step along the production flow. The plant will also maximize circularity.

Argonne researchers developing capacitive deionization separation process for battery recycling, biofuels

Green Car Congress

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. Building a battery is like building a tower out of Legos. —Lauren Valentino.
