H24All project seeks to build Europe’s first 100 MW alkaline electrolyzer plant

Green Car Congress

Partners in the consortium represent the whole value chain of hydrogen from six different countries (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Spain, and Turkey). The objective for the Green Deal project will be to boost the technology and the use of renewable hydrogen by reducing the cost to close to €3/kg (US$3.63) H 2.

Researchers combine plasma-assisted nitrogen oxidation and lean NOx trap technology for ammonia production

Green Car Congress

A team from KU Leuven and the University of Antwerp in Belgium has developed a new process that is suitable for the distributed, small-scale production of “green” ammonia. It also emerges as an alternative carbonless renewable fuel. assisted nitrogen oxidation and lean NOx trap technology, adopted from diesel?

Scenario study suggests increased vehicle electrification in Europe increases demand for gas in power sector; limited ability for power-to-gas

Green Car Congress

The study is based on a set of scenarios for 2050 of electrification in five European countries: Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), France (FR), Germany (DE) and the Netherlands (NL). The gradual introduction of renewable gases has not been fully taken into account.

Mha (20%) of the peatlands of Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo in 2010, surpassing the area of Belgium and causing an annual carbon emission from peat decomposition of 230–310 Mt CO 2 e. —Miettinen et al. Slightly more than half of the GHG emissions for these biofuels in the EPA’s analysis came from land use change.
