Airbus and Linde to cooperate on hydrogen infrastructure for airports

Green Car Congress

Airbus and Linde, a leading global industrial gases and engineering company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work on the development of hydrogen infrastructure at airports worldwide. To date, agreements have been signed with partners and airports in France, Italy, South Korea, Japan and Singapore.

Novel inexpensive cobalt-nickel electrode for efficient water and urea electrolysis; yolk-shell nanoparticles

Green Car Congress

Electrolytic hydrogen production powered by renewable energy is seen as an environmentally friendly means to ameliorate global climate and energy problems. Both half reactions of water electrolysis—hydrogen and oxygen evolution—are unfortunately slow and require a lot of power. Zhang, S.L., and Lou, X.W.

Hyundai Motor Group presents HMG Smart City master model at 2022 World Cities Summit; air and ground mobility

Green Car Congress

Hyundai Motor Group presented the HMG Smart City master model at the 2022 World Cities Summit in Singapore. The HMG Smart City concept, inspired by a honeycomb pattern, is a hexagonal-shaped city with a human-centered surface layer, and function-centered underground layer. —President Chi.

MIT proof-of-concept demo of ionic wind propulsion for aircraft

Green Car Congress

The researchers describe their proof of concept for electroaerodynamic (EAD) airplane propulsion in a paper in the journal Nature. This was the simplest possible plane we could design that could prove the concept that an ion plane could fly. Bose Research Grant, and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART).

Researchers develop free-standing nanowire mesh for direct solar water-splitting to produce H2; new design for “artificial leaf”

Green Car Congress

The mesh with BiVO 4 nanowire photoanode for water oxidation and Rh-SrTiO 3 nanowire photocathode for water reduction produces hydrogen gas without an electron mediator. an “artificial leaf” to produce hydrogen—based on a nanowire mesh that lends itself to large-scale, low-cost production. hydrogen evolution rate and (?)

MIT analysis finds current EVs could replace ~90% of personal vehicles now on the road based on driver’s energy consumption

Green Car Congress

Developing the concepts and mathematical models required for a testable, quantitative analysis is helpful in these situations, where so much is at stake. This is an issue where common sense can lead to strongly opposing views. Many seem to feel strongly that the potential is small, and the rest are convinced that is it large.

Task 39 report finds significant advances in advanced biofuels technologies; hydrotreating accounting for about 2.4% of global biofuels production

Green Car Congress

Hydrotreatment—the chemical reaction of vegetable oils, animal-based waste fats, and by-products of vegetable oil refining with hydrogen—produces hydrocarbons with properties superior to conventional biodiesel and fossil diesel. But, as expected, some of the projects for advanced biofuel production have failed.
