Sasol and ITOCHU to partner on green ammonia and hydrogen

Green Car Congress

South Africa-based Sasol and Japan-based ITOCHU Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) jointly to study and to develop the market and supply chain for green ammonia with a focus on its use as bunkering fuel and for power generation. The product can also be cracked back to hydrogen gas for further applications.

DOE to Award Up to $5M in Grants for RD on Hydrogen Production from Coal

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen separation membranes may be used in a variety of locations in a gasification-based coal-to-hydrogen production process, depending on the capability of the membrane to withstand temperature and pressure conditions as well as variations in gas composition. Processes based upon natural gas only and electrolysis of water are not sought.

SwRI, UTSA seek to combine reverse water-gas shift and Fischer Tropsch synthesis in single reactor to produce low-carbon hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio (USTA) are collaborating to combine two catalytic processes into a single reactor, with the overall goal of recycling carbon from COCO 2 2 to produce low-cost hydrocarbon fuels. Seuser will use the catalysts in a SwRI reactor to assess their industrial viability.
