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.

Stanford/DTU team devises new effective solid-oxide electrochemical cell for CO2 electrolysis

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Stanford University and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have engineered and demonstrated a solid-oxide electrochemical cell (SOC) with a porous ceria electrode that achieves stable and selective CO 2 electrolysis beyond the thermodynamic carbon deposition threshold. This could also reduce production costs.

The Richer They Get, the More Meat They Eat

Cars That Think

The world’s production of meat and poultry reached about 100 million tonnes in 1970, 233 million tonnes in 2000, and 325 million tonnes in 2020. Not surprisingly, meat consumption has changed little in highly carnivorous countries, including Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom, and it has declined a bit in Denmark, France, and Germany.

Refineries in the Americas produce a greater share of gasoline per barrel of crude oil than refineries in other world regions

Green Car Congress

When processing petroleum, refineries can produce products in varying amounts to meet regional demands. In the Americas, gasoline accounted for just above 40% of the products refined from petroleum in 2019, while in Europe and Asia Oceania, gasoline was less than 20%. OECD Americas: Canada; Chile; Mexico; United States.

European power-to-methane company Electrochaea opens California subsidiary

Green Car Congress

The core of the power-to-gas (P2G) technology is the proprietary biocatalyst that can be deployed in a simple and cost-effective energy conversion system. Because of the high selectivity of the archaea, minimal post-reaction gas treatment is needed before the product gas is injected into the gas grid.

Braskem, Haldor Topsoe to partner to produce MEG from sugar

Green Car Congress

The agreement calls for the construction of a demonstration plant in Denmark, with operation slated to begin in 2019. MEG is a key component of PET resin, the main man-made raw material used by the textile and packaging industries that is also widely used to make bottles.
