ACWA Power to develop Uzbekistan’s first green hydrogen and green ammonia projects

Green Car Congress

ACWA Power will oversee the full value chain of integration to this existing infrastructure project to green hydrogen, which is expected to improve the service factor of the facility and reduce its dependence on natural gas. The country is the second largest in terms of value for the company after its home market of Saudi Arabia.

Haldor Topsoe to build large-scale SOEC electrolyzer manufacturing facility to meet customer needs for green hydrogen

Green Car Congress

With efficiencies above 90%, Topsoe’s proprietary SOEC electrolyzers offer superior performance in electrolysis of water into hydrogen—e.g., The SOEC is a ceramic cell that uses electricity to split water molecules (H 2 O) into hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ). —Hauch et al.

Haldor Topsoe and Nel ASA to offer end-to-end green ammonia and eMethanol solutions

Green Car Congress

Green ammonia (produced from renewable energy, water and air) and eMethanol (produced from feedstocks obtained by utilization of waste streams, electrolysis hydrogen, and CO 2 capture) are both considered promising low-carbon transportation fuels and energy carriers. —Amy Hebert, Chief Commercial Officer of Haldor Topsoe.

New molybdenum-coated catalyst produces hydrogen from water-splitting more efficiently; preventing the back reaction

Green Car Congress

Water-splitting systems require a very efficient catalyst to speed up the chemical reaction that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, while preventing the two gases from recombining back into water. Therefore, inhibition of these back reactions is of paramount importance for photocatalytic water splitting.

Researchers develop solid electrolyte for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to pure liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

At left is a catalyst that selects for carbon dioxide and reduces it to a negatively charged formate, which is pulled through a gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the anion exchange membrane (AEM) into the central electrolyte. The ions recombine into formic acid or other products that are carried out of the system by deionized (DI) water and gas.
