Chinese researchers develop new alloy for on-board hydrogen production for fuel cells

Green Car Congress

In addition, the high cost of hydrogen transport is a key barrier to hydrogen utilization. Before use, Al and the LM alloys were stored separately to prevent passivation. An acid or alkaline solution can dissolve aluminum hydroxide but also causes corrosion and pollution problems. In 2015, Zhang et al. —Jing Liu.

Abellio, Alstom, NASA and Rolls-Royce to implement new hybrid drive solution on Coradia Lint diesel trains

Green Car Congress

In addition, the ability to run under battery power only can reduce noise pollution in city areas and stations by 75% (20 dB(A)). The total operating costs of rail vehicles with MTU hybrid drives are also significantly lower. This enables very low-noise, emissions-free battery-only electric operation in urban areas and around stations.

US DOE, Natural Resources Canada open pilot plant to advance oxy-combustion carbon capture at coal-fired power plants

Green Car Congress

Oxy-PFBC is based on the oxy-fuel combustion process, which uses pure oxygen instead of air to burn fuel and produces heat that generates electricity without the production of other pollutants. The captured CO 2 can then be stored or used beneficially to develop other products, including feedstock and chemicals.
