Cemvita demonstrates “gold hydrogen” production in situ, sets up subsidiary

Green Car Congress

Gold Hydrogen is a novel source of carbon neutral hydrogen produced from depleted oil reservoirs that are ready for plug and abandonment, extending the life of wells that would otherwise be a significant burden. In a very short time frame, we moved our microbes from the lab to the field. billion in 2020. It is growing at a CAGR of 54.7%

CMU study finds controlled EV charging can reduce generation cost, but at greater health and environmental costs depending upon the generation mix

Green Car Congress

Results from the study also suggest that with sufficient coal plant retirement and sufficient wind power, controlled charging could result in positive net benefits instead of negative. A paper describing the work is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. other parts of the US and the world could be different.
