C-Zero raises $11.5M Series A to produce clean hydrogen from natural gas via methane pyrolysis

Green Car Congress

The funding will accelerate the first commercial-scale deployment of C-Zero’s drop-in decarbonization technology, which will allow industrial natural gas consumers to avoid producing CO 2 in applications such as electrical generation, process heating and the production of commodity chemicals such as hydrogen and ammonia. Resources.

million) STORE&GO research project. Construction on the methanation plant began in July 2017. While the current facility feeds pure hydrogen (“WindGas”) directly into the gas grid, the new methanation plant provides for the generation of “green” methane. Type of CO2 source (biogas; waste water; atmosphere).

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.

UC Santa Barbara team develops catalytic molten metals for direct conversion of methane to hydrogen without forming CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara have developed catalytic molten metals to pyrolize methane to release hydrogen and to form solid carbon. The insoluble carbon floats to the surface of the melt, where it can be removed and stored or incorporated into composite materials. Metallic catalysts (e.g., Resources.

NREL researchers capture excess photon energy to produce solar fuels; higher efficiency water-splitting for H2

Green Car Congress

Using quantum dots (QD) and a process called Multiple Exciton Generation (MEG), the NREL researchers were able to push the peak external quantum efficiency for hydrogen generation to 114%. Photogenerated holes oxidize sulfide in one compartment while electrons reduce hydrogen in the other compartment at the dark Pt cathode.

Toshiba supplying H2-based energy supply system to Tohoku Electric Power; evaluating H2 for overcoming fluctuations from renewables

Green Car Congress

through its H2One, hydrogen based autonomous energy supply system. Various solutions are being investigated, and Tohoku Electric decided to use Toshiba’s H2One starting March 2017. The H2One system uses renewable energy to produce hydrogen via electrolysis, as well as for charging a battery-based energy storage system.
