CMB.TECH opens first multimodal hydrogen refueling station, presents dual-fuel hydrogen truck Lenoir

Green Car Congress

CMB.TECH has opened the first multimodal hydrogen refueling station in Antwerp, Belgium. It is the first refueling station to produce green hydrogen which will be used to power ships, tube trailers, cars, trucks and buses. CMB.TECH is strongly committed to hydrogen solutions for industrial and maritime applications.

Hydrogen Opposed Piston Engine Working Group formed

Green Car Congress

Several organizations, encompassing companies, research labs, and academia, have formed the Hydrogen Opposed Piston Engine Working Group. The Working Group consists of members undertaking research and development in the field of hydrogen combustion in an opposed-piston engine. If hydrogen combustion is sufficiently lean—i.e.,

KIST team develops rapid benchmarking platform for LOHCs

Green Car Congress

A typical method of hydrogen storage is physically storing hydrogen using compression or liquefaction; these methods require higher energy to increase storage capacity and expensive distributing infrastructure. A biphenyl-based eutectic mixture developed by KIST in 2017 shows 20% higher dehydrogenation rate than those of other LOHCs.

New mesocrystal photocatalyst enhances light-driven hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

A group of Japanese researchers has developed a novel photocatalyst for increased hydrogen production. The strontium titanate mesocrystal exhibits three times the efficiency for hydrogen evolution compared to conventional disordered systems in alkaline aqueous solution. Hydrogen synthesis in SrTiO 3 mesocrystals. (a)

Elemental boron effective photothermocatalyst for the conversion of CO2 for fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

The “self-heating” boron catalyst makes particularly efficient use of sunlight to reduce CO 2 , serving as a light harvester, photothermal converter, hydrogen generator, and catalyst in one. At this temperature it reacts with water, forming hydrogen and boron oxides in situ. The boron oxides act as “traps” for CO 2 molecules.

NREL sets new world efficiency record for solar hydrogen production: 16.2%

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recaptured the record for highest efficiency in solar hydrogen production via a photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting process. Other methods that use sunlight entail additional loss-generating steps. Young, Myles A. France, John A. 2017.28.
