Porsche, Siemens Energy and partners advance climate-neutral eFuels development; Haru Oni pilot in Chile

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 3, 2020

Porsche, Siemens Energy and partners are developing and implementing a pilot project—the “Haru Oni” project—in Chile that is expected to yield the world’s first integrated, commercial, industrial-scale plant for making synthetic climate-neutral fuels (eFuels). Electrolyzers will use wind power to produce green hydrogen.

The Dirty Truth of Petrol & Diesel Vehicles

Plug In India

NOVEMBER 4, 2021

Diesel or petrol starts as oil, on average 1,798 meters below the surface of the earth. A great deal of oil is extracted using what is called a pumpjack. The electricity usage for the 1,42,054 onshore wells that supply oil to India is over 1,415 GWh a month! That's just oil wells on land. What about deep sea drilling?

Oyster Wave Power Machine Generates Electricity Onshore; Sea Trials Begin This Autumn

In contrast to many other wave power devices, Oyster uses hydraulic technology to transfer wave power to shore, where it is then converted into electricity. Onshore, conventional hydroelectric generators convert this high-pressure water into electrical energy. It is also silent in operation. Ronan Doherty.

BG Group has approved implementation of the first phase of a US$15-billion project to convert coal seam gas (CSG) to LNG—the first major commercial project to do so. First LNG exports are planned to commence from 2014, underpinned by agreements in Chile, China, Japan and Singapore for the purchase of up to 9.5 Source: QCLNG EIS.

Wärtsilä report finds accelerated adoption of renewables can reduce electricity production costs by up to 50%

OCTOBER 11, 2021

To reach a 100% share of renewable power, leaders must create the conditions to build new Power-to-X capacity for sustainable fuel production and convert thermal balancing power plants to run on that fuel. Utilities should keep repeating steps 1 - 3 until their systems run on 80 – 90% renewables.

Processes such as oil extraction from sources such as tar sands and deep-water offshore oil wells, as well as the expansion of first-generation biofuels such as corn-based ethanol are setting the stage for a “ water/energy collision ” of resource management policies.

Fats and greases and inedible oils are opportunity feedstocks, but the US supply of fats and greases is probably on the order of less than 10 million barrels, closer to 1-2 million barrels on an annual basis. Really the question is can the feedstocks be procured at a price competitive to petroleum oil. Earlier post.)
