SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. The facility will process 42,000 tons of recycled waste annually.

Argonne researchers developing capacitive deionization separation process for battery recycling, biofuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have turned to a process called capacitive deionization that uses the electric charges of nickel, manganese and cobalt to select them out from the waste stream. Building a battery is like building a tower out of Legos. —Lauren Valentino.

MISC, Samsung Heavy, Lloyd’s Register and MAN partner to develop ammonia-fueled tanker

Green Car Congress

The energy conversion rate of this system is higher than that of biomaterial-based systems, but the production pathway cannot tap into potential energy sources such as waste biomass. This builds on the technology development pathway that MAN ES presented at the NH3 Energy+ Topical Conference at Pittsburgh in October 2018.

Chalmers team identifies two main challenges for bio-hydrocarbon fuel production from cheap sources

Green Car Congress

From a proof-of-concept stage, where preliminary pathway engineering results in low titers on a small scale, the titer, rate and yield are improved through multiple rounds of the design-build-test-learn (DBTL)-cycle. The other main barrier is efficient conversion of biomass to the sugars that are used by the cell factories. Zhou et al.
