HYVIA unveils two new hydrogen light commercial vehicle prototypes

Green Car Congress

Following on the reveal of Renault Master Van H2-TECH last month ( earlier post ), HYVIA has unveiled two new Hydrogen Light Commercial Vehicles prototypes with zero CO 2 tailpipe emissions, increased range, and 5-minute refueling time. Both vehicles will be available in 2022 with green hydrogen production and distribution solutions.

Researchers develop earth-abundant photocatalyst for conversion of ammonia into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

When illuminated with light-emitting diodes rather than lasers, the photocatalytic efficiencies remain comparable, even when the scale of reaction increases by nearly three orders of magnitude. Unlike traditional catalysts, it doesn’t require heat; it harvests energy from light. —Peter Nordlander, co-author.

Chinese team uses light to convert fatty acids into alkanes with up to 95% yield; photocatalytic decarboxylation

Green Car Congress

Rationally controlling the conversion of radical intermediates for preferential hydrogen termination is the key to high selectivity in obtaining alkane products. The researchers conducted conversion of these two industrial fatty acid mixtures, obtaining alkane products in high yields (up to 95%). —Prof. —Prof.
