Hydrogen Production from Waste Tires Using a Catalytic Pyrolysis-Gasification Process

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Leeds (UK) is investigating hydrogen production from waste tires using a two-stage pyrolysis-gasification reactor and Ni-Mg-Al (1:1:1) catalyst. The generation rate of waste tires is increasing, especially with the continued increase in production of cars and trucks, the authors note.

New LLNL membrane bridges operational gap between low- and high-temperature PEM fuel cells; potential for lower cost systems

Green Car Congress

By increasing the operational flexibility, this class of fuel cell can simplify the requirements for heat and water management, and potentially reduce the costs associated with the existing fully functional fuel cell systems. There’s a huge benefit to running fuel cells at the widest possible operating temperature with water tolerance.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Longer term, California, the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, Japan, and Western Australia are all looking to the sea to help meet their demands for hydrogen. The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years. To meet such targets, it’ll be necessary to build, and build fast.

Green Hydrogen Cars: How They are Different?

Get Electric Vehicle

To put it another way, instead of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity, these two components are joined to make water and electricity The electricity is then utilized to power the car’s drive train, leaving just water as a waste product. Hydrogen has a long history of working with industry.

Perspective: The UN Approval Process for Carbon Offsets

Green Car Congress

This article discusses the process by which the UN approves carbon offsets and the flaws associated with this process. Every ton of offsets verified by a DOE can thereafter be used to compensate for excessive emissions by companies in Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. THE APPROVAL PROCESS.
