NREL sets new world efficiency record for solar hydrogen production: 16.2%

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recaptured the record for highest efficiency in solar hydrogen production via a photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting process. Structure of an IMM photocathode configured for water splitting with TEM cross-section of the active layers.

CNRS researchers exploring two-step thermochemical process to split CO2 for upgrading to synthetic fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), France, are studying a solar thermochemical process for the recycling and upgrading of CO 2 emissions for the production of synthetic fuels. from 360 °C with both high reaction rates and final chemical conversions of greater than 90%. Zn can be oxidized by CO 2.

MIT team discovers new family of materials with best performance yet for oxygen evolution reaction; implications for fuel cells and Li-air batteries

Green Car Congress

MIT researchers have found a new family of highly active catalyst materials that provides the best performance yet in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in electrochemical water-splitting—a key requirement for energy storage and delivery systems such as advanced fuel cells and lithium-air batteries. Earlier post.) —Grimaud et al.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

In France, for example, the hydrogen producer Lhyfe is operating a pilot project called SEM-REV off the coast of Saint-Nazaire, which has been producing small amounts of hydrogen since September 2022. The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years.

Travels with Perplexity AI

Cars That Think

He’d just handed me a bag of single-origin cascara, the dried flesh of coffee cherries, in his shop, Cafés Muda in Lille, France. Dawn and I used Perplexity as an on-demand travel guide throughout our tour of the Flemish region of Belgium and Northern France. Next: “Where can I buy distilled water near me right now?” (In

The Tesla Autopilot Excuse: How EV ignorance created the perfect storm for a misinformation nightmare

Teslarati

Couple this with Elon Musk noting that Autopilot was not involved, and it was no surprise that the crash became a topic for analysis and conversations among Tesla supporters. There was only one problem: the whole premise of the article was false. To add salt to the wound, Texas Rep. The story that emerged was quite remarkable.

Total and partners launch $16B ultra-deep Kaombo project offshore Angola

Green Car Congress

Located approximately 260 km (162 miles) offshore Luanda in water depths ranging from 1,400 to 1,900 meters (4,593 to 6,234 feet), the Kaombo project will develop six of the 12 discoveries already made on Block 32. The two FPSOs will be based on conversions of very large crude carriers (VLCCs) into production units. Location of Kaombo.
