HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded HyMethShip project developed a system that innovatively combined a membrane reactor, a CO 2 capture system, a storage system for CO 2 and methanol as well as a hydrogen-fueled combustion engine to power ships. The bottom part shows how hydrogen for the engine is obtained from methanol in the reactor (blue arrow).

Graz researchers develop cost-effective chemical looping process for decentralized production of high-purity hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen researchers at Graz University of Technology (Austria), together with the Graz-based start-up Rouge H2 Engineering , have developed a cost-effective process for the decentralized production of high-purity hydrogen using chemical looping. Hydrogen is produced by converting biogas, biomass or natural gas into a syngas.

Fraunhofer ICT Working on New Redox Flow Batteries with Improved Capacity for EV Applications

Green Car Congress

Redox flow batteries (RFB) are chemical energy storage devices, and use dissolved redox couples (an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent in an electron transfer process) held in separate external tanks; electricity is converted in a separate power module.

How Will EV Charging Powered by Renewable Energy Create a Greener World

Driivz

Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria were the global leaders in hydroelectric as of 2019. Solar and wind are the easiest to locate, scale, and convert to energy. These renewables can supply power directly to the charge points, with excess energy stored in onsite batteries. Renewables & EV Charging.

Volkswagen’s first two production battery-electric vehicles debut at Frankfurt

Green Car Congress

In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor. Via a DC/DC converter it also supplies the vehicle’s circuitry with voltage of 12 V. In generator mode, meanwhile, the alternating current is rectified for charging the battery.
