New catalyst supports ultra-low-temperature water-gas-shift reaction for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Researchers from China and the US have synthesized gold layered clusters on an α-MoC substrate to create an interfacial catalyst system for the ultra-low-temperature water-gas shift (WGS) reaction for the production of high-purity hydrogen and concomitant utilization of carbon monoxide (CO). —Yao et al.

Energy researchers: clean US hydrogen economy is within reach, but needs a game plan

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen and its derivatives could be that fuel, argues a commentary by four energy researchers in the journal Joule. However, they note, a clean US hydrogen economy will require a comprehensive strategy and a 10-year plan. The Hydrogen Earthshot is necessary to create a hydrogen economy, but it is not sufficient.

Renewable plastic precursor could reduce cost of cellulosic ethanol by >$2/gallon

Green Car Congress

A process for the synthesis of 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PD) with 84% yield from furfural is developed, utilizing dehydration/hydration, ring-opening tautomerization, and hydrogenation reactions. This enhanced reactivity is a result of the ring-opening tautomerization to 5-hydoxyvaleraldehyde and subsequent hydrogenation to 1,5-PD.
