Aurora Hydrogen raises $10M Series A; microwave pyrolysis of natural gas for efficient low-carbon hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

There is an accompanying need to develop new low-cost and low-carbon technologies for hydrogen production. Aurora uses 80% less electricity than electrolysis, the conventional method of producing clean hydrogen, requiring far less electrical generation capacity per kg of hydrogen.

New nickel-gallium catalyst could lead to low-cost, clean production of methanol; small-scale, low-pressure devices

Green Car Congress

In their paper, they suggested that this is a first step towards the development of small-scale low-pressure devices for CO 2 reduction to methanol. Today, methanol is produced in large facilities from CO, CO 2 and H 2 (derived from fossil resources) in a high-pressure (50–100 bar) process using a Cu/ZnO/Al2O 3 catalyst.
