Emerson and BayoTech partner to scale production and distribution of low-cost, modular SMRs for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Bayotech said it created the above chart based on California Air Resources Board (ARB) methodology. BayoGaaS, BayoTech’s gas-as-a-service option, provides customers with low-cost hydrogen on demand. Accounting for the carbon intensity for the entire value chain delivers a very different picture, according to Bayotech.

Argonne-led team develops new low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for PEM electrolysis

Green Car Congress

A multi-institutional team led by the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has developed a low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for the production of hydrogen in a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE). The anode catalyst uses iridium, which has a current market price of around $5,000 per ounce.

Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely. Haiyan Mao, a UC Berkeley postdoctoral fellow who is first author of the paper, said that melamine-based materials use much cheaper ingredients, are easier to make and are more energy efficient than most MOFs.

Lake Resources and Ford Motor Company sign non-binding MoU to negotiate for lithium offtake from the Kachi Project

Green Car Congress

Australia-based Lithium developer Lake Resources has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ford Motor Company for the offtake of approximately 25,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of lithium from the Kachi Project. The lithium chloride is then processed on-site with conventional process equipment to yield a finished product.

GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

The process is constrained by the (low) cost of electricity. Efficacious climate mitigation by CO 2 transformation requires a massive market, and product stability and compactness. Monel cathode substrates, electrolyte equilibration, and a mixed metal (NiChrome) nucleation facilitate the synthesis of this CNT wool.
