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.

Emerson and BayoTech partner to scale production and distribution of low-cost, modular SMRs for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

BayoTech’s patented technology requires less feedstock, which means fewer carbon emissions and less cost to produce hydrogen than traditional reformers, the company says. Accounting for the carbon intensity for the entire value chain delivers a very different picture, according to Bayotech.

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

Green Car Congress

Stuart Licht have demonstrated the first facile high-yield, low-energy synthesis of macroscopic length carbon nanotubes (CNTs)—carbon nanotube wool—from CO 2 using molten carbonate electrolysis ( earlier post ). The process is constrained by the (low) cost of electricity. —Johnson et al.

Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. DETA, a chemical bound inside the porous melamine, grabs CO 2 and removes it from the gas, with nitrogen vented to the atmosphere.

Transform Materials plasma process converts abundant natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene

Green Car Congress

Transform Materials has developed a novel and sustainable microwave plasma reactor process to convert natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene, thereby opening up a new pathway for green chemical manufacturing. Oxidation of methane also introduces impurities in the product stream.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method to convert captured CO 2 into methane, the primary component of natural gas. Conventionally, plant operators can capture CO 2 by using special solvents that douse flue gas before it’s emitted from plant chimneys. Heldebrant, D.,
