Ørsted and partners secure funding for H2RES project; offshore wind power to produce renewable hydrogen for road transport

Green Car Congress

million (US$5 million) for the H2RES project from EUDP’s second 2019 call for applications. The plant will use electricity from offshore wind turbines to produce renewable hydrogen for buses, trucks and potentially taxis. However, renewable hydrogen is currently more expensive than hydrogen produced from gas or coal.

IISA study proposes using airships for efficient cargo or hydrogen transportation

Green Car Congress

Reintroducing airships into the world’s transportation mix could contribute to lowering the transport sector’s carbon emissions and can play a role in establishing a sustainable hydrogen based economy, according to a new IIASA-led study. The transport sector is responsible for around 25% of global CO 2 emissions caused by humans.

U Delaware team develops prototype efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for transportation

Green Car Congress

However, most air transport, military, shipping, and long-distance freight applications remain challenging for batteries because of their limited energy density. Together, these applications leave a substantial fraction of transportation energy usage dependent on chemical fuels. —Zhao et al. Zhao et al. C or higher.

Researchers use multifunctional co-solvent pair to uncover molecular principles of biomass breakdown for conversion to transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

Plant cell walls resist chemical or biological degradation, making the breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass into renewable chemical precursors for conversion into chemicals and transportation fuels challenging and costly. Co-solvents THF and water cause lignin to dissociate from itself and cellulose, expanding into a random coil.

DOE announces $31M in funding to advance H2@Scale

Green Car Congress

The focus of H2@Scale is to enable affordable and reliable large-scale hydrogen generation, transport, storage, and utilization in the United States across multiple sectors. By producing hydrogen when power generation exceeds load, electrolyzers can reduce curtailment of renewables and contribute to grid stability.
