LOTTE, Sumitomo of Americas and Syzygy Plasmonics to partner on photocatalytic cracking of ammonia to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Plans include importing green ammonia that can be readily transported and stored before it is converted into clean hydrogen with expectations of generating 1.2 The traditional thermal cracking of ammonia uses high heat and pressure to convert it to hydrogen gas. million tons of hydrogen per year domestically by 2030.

Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. The system uses heated supercritical carbon dioxide instead of steam to generate electricity and is based on a closed-loop Brayton cycle.

Graz researchers develop cost-effective chemical looping process for decentralized production of high-purity hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Additionally, expensive infrastructure with high investment costs is needed there to store large quantities of hydrogen. Additionally, large amounts of hydrogen have to be stored in pressurized form on site at the customer to compensate for fluctuations in consumption. —Zacharias et al. OSOD H2 generator.

Cornell team suggests engineered bacteria could address current limitations of energy storage technologies

Green Car Congress

Raising the penetration of renewable —an intermittent—sources of energy into the grid will require large scale electrical energy storage and retrieval. Adding electrically engineered (synthetic or non-biological) elements could make this approach even more productive and efficient than microbes alone.

AkzoNobel and Gasunie investigating large-scale production of green hydrogen; 20MW facility for 3000 tons per year

Green Car Congress

AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals and Gasunie New Energy are partnering to investigate the possible large scale conversion of sustainable electricity into green hydrogen via the electrolysis of water. A final decision on the project is expected in 2019. This requires not only vision, but also immediate action and concrete collaboration.

Researchers propose using AC and ventilation systems for decentralized production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels

Green Car Congress

Counterclockwise from top: Powered by renewable electricity, using modified A/C and ventilation systems CO 2 and water can be captured from ambient air. The synthesized hydrocarbon fuels can be stored and/or transported for further utilization. When stored without further utilization even negative emissions can be realized.
