Novel membrane-free Mg-CO2 battery sequesters CO2 and generates electricity

Green Car Congress

The newly-developed MF Mg-CO 2 battery operates based on the indirect utilization of CO 2 with facile hydrogen generation process, which leads to electrochemical performance of 64.8 Unlike existing aqueous metal-CO 2 systems, the new battery is not only easier to manufacture, but also allows continuous operation with one type of electrolyte.

Researchers develop new stable artificial photosynthesis device to produce ethylene and hydrogen from sunlight and CO2

Green Car Congress

A research team has developed a new artificial photosynthesis device component with remarkable stability and longevity as it selectively converts sunlight and carbon dioxide into two promising sources of renewable fuels: ethylene and hydrogen. The device produced ethylene and hydrogen with unprecedented selectivity and for more than 24 hours.

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

Green Car Congress

H2 Green Steel (H2GS AB) was founded in 2020 with the ambition to accelerate the decarbonization of the steel industry, using green hydrogen. In a natural gas feed reactor, the iron ore reduction takes place with both carbon monoxide to produce sponge iron and carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce sponge iron and water.
