IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

A new approach developed by researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria and international colleagues proposes using solid air (nitrogen or oxygen) as a medium for recycling cooling energy across the hydrogen liquefaction supply chain. The hydrogen is liquefied where electricity is cheap.

BNEF: China dominates the Li-ion battery supply chain, but Europe is on the rise

Green Car Congress

China dominates BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) lithium-ion battery supply chain ranking in 2020, having quickly surpassed Japan and Korea that were leaders for the majority of the previous decade. This has led to a boom in European cell plants, and the rest of the supply chain is also slowly making its way to Europe.

BNEF report finds hydrogen promising decarbonization pathway, but carbon prices and emissions policies required

Green Car Congress

Note: Clean hydrogen refers to both renewable and low-carbon hydrogen (from fossil-fuels with CCS). Renewable hydrogen can be made by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, using electricity generated by cheap wind or solar power. Renewable energy has paved the way to carbon-free electricity.

Scope 3 emissions refer to greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which are released into the atmosphere through the supply chains of many companies, as well as the use of the products by consumers. According to the consulting firm Deloitte, Scope 3 emissions comprise over 70 percent of the carbon footprint for most businesses.

BNEF: steel industry set to pivot to hydrogen in green push; additional $278B for clean capacity and retrofits

Green Car Congress

Steel production could be made with almost no carbon emissions through $278 billion of extra investment by 2050, according to a new report from research firm BloombergNEF (BNEF). Note: CCUS is carbon capture and storage, DR-EAF is direct reduction of iron paired with an electric arc furnace. Source: BloombergNEF.
