BNEF: cost of new renewables rises as inflation starts to bite

Green Car Congress

The global benchmark levelized cost of electricity, or LCOE, has retreated to where it was in 2019. Despite temporary cost rises for renewables, the gap to fossil fuel power generation continues to widen due to fuel and carbon prices rising even faster. The latter cost at $74 and $81 per MWh, respectively. compared to 1H 2021.

Danish team electrifies steam-methane reforming for greener approach to hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark and Haldor Topsoe, with colleagues from the Danish Technological Institute and Sintex have developed a “ disruptive approach to a fundamental process ” by integrating an electrically heated catalytic structure directly into a steam-methane–reforming (SMR) reactor for hydrogen production.

Topsoe to build demonstration plant to produce cost-competitive CO2-neutral methanol from biogas and green electricity

Green Car Congress

The eSMR Methanol technology exploits the full carbon potential of biogas by utilizing the 40% CO 2 content which is routinely separated and vented today. The technology heats the process using green electricity from wind turbines or solar panels instead of natural gas. B) Electric resistance–heated reactor.

Maersk to pilot 600 kWh containerized battery system on container ship

Green Car Congress

A containerized 600 kWh marine battery system will be installed in a trial on board the Maersk Cape Town in December 2019 to improve vessel performance and reliability while reducing CO 2 emissions. Maersk will continue to facilitate, test, and develop low-carbon solutions on our journey to become carbon neutral by 2050.

Topsoe puts eSMR demonstration plant into operation for production of sustainable methanol from biogas

Green Car Congress

ton CO 2 being emitted per produced ton methanol, the emission reduction potential is enormous, assuming all methanol is being produced by means of a carbon-neutral process and sustainable feedstock. With this initiative, we will demonstrate that we are able to transform classical production process into a fully carbon-neutral scheme.

European power-to-methane company Electrochaea opens California subsidiary

Green Car Congress

Electrochaea employs a patented biocatalyst (BioCat) to convert low-cost and stranded electricity and CO 2 into pipeline-grade renewable gas. This gas can be directly injected into the existing natural gas grid or used immediately.
