Anglo American unveils prototype 2MW hydrogen-battery hybrid mine haul truck

Green Car Congress

Anglo American plc unveiled a prototype of the world’s largest hydrogen-powered mine haul truck designed to operate in everyday mining conditions at its Mogalakwena PGMs (platinum group metals) mine in South Africa. South Africa’s Hydrogen Valley. With a combination of abundant renewable energy sources (i.e.

LanzaTech collaborating with Swayana to convert waste gases from ferroalloy production to ethanol

Green Car Congress

The energy produced is assumed to be used internally at the site and the carbon content of the CO subsequently converted to CO 2 in-plant. Any CO emitted to the atmosphere is assumed to be converted to CO 2 within days afterwards. The CO gas produced in open or semi-closed furnaces is burnt to CO 2 above the charge level.

Sasol embarking on feasibility study on a US gas-to-liquids facility in Louisiana

Green Car Congress

GTL transportation fuel is cleaner burning than conventional diesel with a roughly comparable, and potentially lower, greenhouse gas profile, Sasol says. Sasol converts gas and coal into liquid fuels, fuel components and chemicals through proprietary Fischer-Tropsch (FT) processes. Earlier post.)

SwRI, UTSA seek to combine reverse water-gas shift and Fischer Tropsch synthesis in single reactor to produce low-carbon hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

We’re facing a lack of renewable fuels and the technology to deliver cleaner power generation. Seuser and Jacobs propose using a process called carbon dioxide hydrogenation to produce cleaner renewable liquid hydrocarbon fuels for transportation.
