DOE selects 7 gasification projects for funding; focus on reducing cost of coal conversion

Green Car Congress

The projects conducted through this program are geared toward reducing the cost of coal conversion and mitigating the environmental impacts of fossil-fueled power generation. The successful implementation of two-phase DFE is expected to result in improved separation efficiency and reduced operating costs for cryogenic air separation.

RAL proposes new efficient and low-cost process to crack ammonia for hydrogen using sodium amide; transportation applications

Green Car Congress

While both perceived and real safety risks due to the toxicity of NH 3 have detracted from its appeal, its adoption as a vector for H 2 has not yet been realized largely because of the absence of an efficient, low-cost method for cracking NH 3 to H 2 and N 2. —David et al. —David et al.
