Raven SR & Hyzon Motors to build up to 100 waste-to-hydrogen hubs

Green Car Congress

a global supplier of hydrogen fuel cell-powered commercial vehicles, announced a joint venture to build up to 100 hydrogen hubs across the United States and globally. This permits the control of the rotary reformer when there is water content or chemical makeup variation in the feedstock, such as in MSW.

Lux Research: cost of electrofuels remains far from viable

Green Car Congress

The cost of electrofuels—fuels produced by catalyst-based systems for light capture, water electrolysis, and catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to liquid fuels—remains far away from viable, according to a new analysis by Lux Research.

New catalyst for the direct conversion of ethanol to isobutene

Green Car Congress

The catalyst requires the presence of water, allowing producers to use dilute—i.e., less expensive—bio-ethanol rather than having to purify it first, potentially keeping costs lower and production times faster. A paper on the work is published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. doi: 10.1021/ja204235v.

Monash team proposes roadmap to renewable ammonia economy; 3 generations of technology

Green Car Congress

Generation 3 avoids the need for the Haber-Bosch process entirely by direct electrochemical conversion of N 2 to NH 3. C and pressures above 200 bar to be facile, and therefore the capital cost of plant and equipment is substantial. Modern H-B plants produce ammonia at an energy cost of at least 8 MWh tonne -1. Generation 2.

Surrey team developing direct-air-capture CO2 to methanol process

Green Car Congress

Its value could offset the cost of direct air capture. Pulling chemical building blocks directly out of the air can create a just-in-time process that will help us finally say goodbye to safety hazards such as storing large quantities of chemicals. In 2020, the UK imported £145 million worth of methanol which amounts to 0.6-1.6
