Tech: Renewable Diesel: A Sustainable Substitute

Clean Fleet Report

One challenge is feed pretreatment, which can be done with acid, high-pressure water and/or adsorbents, depending on the technology selection. New Treatment Processes There is an available technology that uses a mass transfer device with caustic, acid or water as the treating reagent in liquid hydrocarbon streams.

This sponsored article is brought to you by COMSOL. When you ask people about cleaner energy, they think of electricity,” says Tommi Eronen, CEO of Polar Night Energy. The hot air then flows back out of the vessel into a heat exchanger, where it heats water that is then circulated through building heating systems.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years. Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. Green hydrogen production requires electrolyzers, solar and wind parks, and clean water—about 10 liters per kilogram of hydrogen generated.

Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

Team PluginIndia The Lithium mining FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) created by some paid media organizations and random YouTube channels is so bad, that many people read headlines of such articles and assume that Lithium mining is the worst thing in the world and is worse than extracting and refining 10,000 liters of oil used by an average ICE car.

Nth Cycle says its electroextraction tech significantly reduces transportation costs for Li-ion battery recycling

Charged EVs

Increasing the efficiency of recycling offers a way to “close the loop,” creating a circular supply chain that can provide the needed raw materials for batteries and other components and minimizing the need to expand the world’s mining operations. We actually use a combination of electricity with water filtration.

Gravity Batteries, Green Hydrogen, and a Thorium Reactor for China

Cars That Think

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. While lithium isn’t exactly in short supply, extracting it from the ground exacts a huge environmental cost.
