Hyzon Motors to collaborate with Transform Materials on renewable hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Our solution is to co-invest in facilities that produce low-cost hydrogen at small volumes, and which can be built in a matter of months. Transform Materials’ clean plasma technology can convert methane into hydrogen and acetylene without the CO 2 emissions that result from traditional processes for generating hydrogen and acetylene.

ORNL seeking US manufacturers to license new carbon fiber process; reduces cost up to 50% and energy up to 60%

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a production method they estimate will reduce the cost of carbon fiber as much as 50% and the energy used in its production by more than 60%. Reduction in energy consumption in manufacturing will enable earlier net energy payback—i.e.,
