Haldor Topsoe to build large-scale SOEC electrolyzer manufacturing facility to meet customer needs for green hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology is attractive because of unrivaled conversion efficiencies—a result of favorable thermodynamics and kinetics at higher operating temperatures. The SOEC is mainly built of abundant and low-cost ceramic materials in a metal housing. The facility is expected to be operational by 2023.

GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

The resulting CNT wool is of length suitable for weaving into carbon composites and textiles and is highly conductive; the calculated cost to produce the CNTs is approximately $660 per ton, compared to the current $100,000+ per ton price range of CNTs. The process is constrained by the (low) cost of electricity.

GWU team develops low-cost, high-yield one-pot synthesis of carbon nanofibers from atmospheric CO2

Green Car Congress

A team led by Dr. Stuart Licht at The George Washington University in Washington, DC has developed a low-cost, high-yield and scalable process for the electrolytic conversion of atmospheric CO 2 dissolved in molten carbonates into carbon nanofibers (CNFs.) —Ren et al. Atmospheric air is added to an electrolytic cell.
