Fulcrum to build second waste-to-fuels plant in Gary, Indiana

Green Car Congress

Fulcrum BioEnergy has selected Gary, Indiana as the location of its Centerpoint BioFuels Plant, which will convert municipal solid waste (MSW) into low-carbon, renewable transportation fuel. A venturi scrubber captures and removes any entrained particulate, and the syngas is further cooled in a packed gas cooler scrubber.

New partnership to advance high-temperature PEM fuel cells; focus on heavy-duty applications

Green Car Congress

Traditional PEM fuel cells have a relatively low operating temperature, which makes for a low tolerance to hydrogen fuel impurities and makes waste-heat rejection a challenge for vehicles. —Yu Seung Kim, a Los Alamos scientist who started an automotive HT-PEM fuel cells project in 2017.
