Xcel Energy, INL to use nuclear energy for clean hydrogen production; HTSE

Green Car Congress

Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy will work with Idaho National Laboratory to demonstrate a system that uses a nuclear plant’s steam and electricity to split water. This is a game-changer for both nuclear energy and carbon-free hydrogen production for numerous industries. Earlier post.) Prairie Island.

11 Intriguing Engineering Milestones to Look for in 2023

Cars That Think

The station, called Fengning and located about 200 kilometers north of Beijing, will store up to 40 gigawatt-hours of energy, and help keep the grid on clean energy when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun’s not shining. These massive construction projects are intended to help China meet its goal of going carbon neutral by 2060.

Co-Electrolysis of CO2 and H2O for the Production of Liquid Fuels

Green Car Congress

In May, the Lenfest Center and Risø DTU hosted a one-day conference—“Sustainable Fuels from CO 2 , H 2 O, and Carbon-Free Energy”—addressing technologies that can be used to recycle CO 2 into carbon-neutral liquid hydrocarbon fuels using renewable or nuclear energy. The co-electrolysis process was featured in several of the talks.
