Carbon Recycling International and Johnson Matthey collaborate on sustainable methanol

Green Car Congress

Conventional methanol production involves fossil feedstocks such as natural gas or coal. This can be recovered from either industrial processes or biomass, such as waste and residues, or atmospheric sources. Hydrogen can also be processed from by-product hydrogen available in some industrial waste streams.

MIT researchers propose subsea version of pumped hydro for renewable energy storage

Green Car Congress

Geologic pumped hydroelectric storage works by pumping water to a reservoir behind a dam when electricity demand is low. When demand is high, the water is released through turbines that generate electricity. The 1,000 wind turbines that the spheres could anchor could, on average, replace a conventional on-shore coal or nuclear plant.
