Repsol produces renewable hydrogen from biomethane from urban solid waste

Green Car Congress

This renewable hydrogen was used to manufacture fuels with a low carbon footprint, such as gasoline, diesel, or kerosene for aviation. The biomethane used as raw material was obtained from urban solid waste. In the port of Bilbao, near the Petronor Industrial Complex, Repsol plans to build a plant to generate biogas from urban waste.

Nornickel investigating using mining tailings to capture and store CO2

Green Car Congress

The dompany is also working to develop a methodology to take stock of carbon units captured this way. Ore mining and concentration results in waste rock, or tailings—fine-grained rock (less than 0.4 As a waste, tailings are stored in designated storage facilities called tailing dams. In 2021, Nornickel extracted 41.2

UNIST team develops novel hydrogen production process using biomass oxidation instead of water oxidation as electron source

Green Car Congress

Korea’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) have developed a novel process for the production of hydrogen using various types of biomass, including lignin, as an efficient alternative to water oxidation as an electron source. Conventionally, water is considered a cheap and clean source of electrons; 2H 2 O ?

Oleophobic hydrophobic magnetic sponge selectively soaks up oil, sparing water and wildlife

Green Car Congress

A Northwestern Engineering-led team has developed a highly porous smart sponge that selectively soaks up oil in water. Currently used solutions include burning the oil, using chemical dispersants to breakdown oil into very small droplets, skimming oil floating on top of water and/or absorbing it with expensive, unrecyclable sorbents.

Lamborghini unveils Lanzador electric concept

Green Car Congress

The Lanzador is a preview of the production vehicle that Lamborghini will present in 2028. Following the presentation of the V12 plug-in hybrid Revuelto ( earlier post ), the Lanzador gives an insight into the series model to be built from 2028. It is imported to Europe once a year and by ship, which reduces the carbon footprint.
