Siemens Energy, FFI and GeoPura developing prototype ammonia cracker to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The prototype will use ammonia to deliver 200kg of hydrogen a day—enough to power around 5-10 hydrogen fuel cell-electric buses. We have just 13 years to deliver a net-zero electricity grid for the UK. The traditional process of producing ammonia has used “grey” or “black” hydrogen from either natural gas or coal.

UK to award £54M to 15 projects developing innovative carbon removal technology

Green Car Congress

The money will help projects further develop their greenhouse gas removal technologies, which include a machine that can pull carbon dioxide out of the air, a plant to convert household waste into hydrogen for use in the transport industry, and a system to remove carbon dioxide from seawater.

Lawrence Livermore publishes state-by-state energy/water Sankey diagrams

Green Car Congress

These new diagrams provide federal, state and local planners, governmental agencies, educators and nongovernmental organizations with detailed information to support decision-making about public investment in innovation and energy-water policy. Some water resources also flow up to energy resources (petroleum, biomass, natural gas, and coal).

AHEAD proposing carbon-free ammonia fuel strategy to bring electricity rapidly to developing countries

Green Car Congress

The AHEAD concept for bringing power to off-grid areas in Africa is to make modest use of renewables where it makes sense, and to drive mass deployment of ammonia and hydrogen along with small engine generators, microturbines and fuel cell systems. Coal and water could be used as input where natural gas is not available.

Comparison of coal consumption and CO 2 emissions for co-production and separate production of liquids and power. Conventional CTL plant gasifies coal to produce a syngas which is then converted in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor to products. The liquids output capacity of CTL plants is 50,000 barrels/day.
