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.

Aurora Hydrogen raises $10M Series A; microwave pyrolysis of natural gas for efficient low-carbon hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

There is an accompanying need to develop new low-cost and low-carbon technologies for hydrogen production. Aurora Hydrogen is scaling its proprietary and highly efficient microwave pyrolysis technology to produce hydrogen and solid carbon from natural gas without generating CO 2 emissions or consuming water.

Topsoe to build world’s largest SOEC electrolyzer production facility; 500 MW scalable to 5 GW; focusing on Power-to-X

Green Car Congress

The Topsoe SOEC electrolyzer is a compact stack built primarily from abundant, low-cost ceramic materials enclosed within a metal housing. To produce hydrogen, it utilizes electricity to split water molecules (H 2 O) into hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ).

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. Johnson et al.

MIT Researchers Identify New Low-Cost Water-Splitting Catalyst

Green Car Congress

Daniel Nocera and his associates have found another formulation, based on inexpensive and widely available materials, that can efficiently catalyze the splitting of water molecules using electricity. Earlier post.). Materials for the new catalyst are even more abundant and inexpensive than those required for the first.

Furthermore, this electrode permits higher charging voltages by suppressing the parasitic water-splitting reactions. The quinones are dissolved in water, which prevents them from catching fire. Quinones are abundant in crude oil as well as in green plants. —Michael J. —ARPA-E Program Director John Lemmon.
