Raven SR waste-to-hydrogen plant in California to be powered by INNIO Jenbacher’s Ready-for-H2 engines

Green Car Congress

At the site, landfill gas (LFG) will be the primary fuel to provide power for the non-combustion process that converts waste to hydrogen. The collaboration with Raven’s technology offers a strong renewable hydrogen alternative to electrolysis, using less electricity and no need for fresh water. Earlier post.).

HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

The Large Engines Competence Center (LEC) in Graz, Austria, was responsible for the overall coordination of the project, while the startup SES-HyDepot e.U. The methanol is mixed with water, then evaporated by applying heat and fed into the preheated reactor, where the mix of methanol and water is converted into hydrogen and CO 2.

New BMW Brilliance engine plant with light metal foundry in China; high-voltage battery production to come

Green Car Congress

For example machining work at the new plant uses a water recovery system similar to that at the BMW Group Plant Steyr (Austria), resulting in completely wastewater-free production. In addition, 90% of the sand used for casting can be recycled to reduce waste to a minimum.

Demonstration plant for small-scale offshore GTL on site at Petrobras refinery; production targeted for September

Green Car Congress

Small-scale GTL facilities based on the use of microchannel reactors and designed for use on offshore platforms have the potential to turn unwanted associated gas into an energy asset and halt wasteful flaring or expensive re-injection. Earlier post.) Earlier post.).
