SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. The facility will process 42,000 tons of recycled waste annually.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

IEA: Estonia is pioneering technologies for more efficient and cleaner use of oil shale

Green Car Congress

Waste heat is used to generate electricity, making Enefit shale oil plants net producers of electricity. Besides Estonia, countries with large oil shale reserves include Australia, Brazil, China and Russia. Ash, as a processing residue, is clean and has several applications in cement production and the construction industry.
