Eneos opens demo plant in Australia to produce MCH liquid organic hydrogen carrier

Green Car Congress

Eneos’ Direct MCH uses an electrolyzer to produce MCH directly from water. Water is oxidized on the anode catalyst to produce oxygen, protons, and electrons. After dehydrogenation, the toluene can be reused to create MCH again. Both toluene and MCH are toxic substances.

Toshiba to partner with Kawasaki City on 5-year demo of independent energy supply system utilizing solar power and hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Toshiba Corporation and Kawasaki City will conduct a cooperative demonstration experiment of an independent energy supply system utilizing solar power and hydrogen. Since the system can operate on only sunlight and water, it will be able to independently provide electricity and hot water in times of emergency, even when lifelines are cut.

Generating Power on Earth From the Coldness of Deep Space

Cars That Think

But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ºC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. As the technology improves, we see it enabling solar panels that work at night as well as day, powering remote sensors.
