GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

Stuart Licht reports that the addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) produced from CO 2 by low-energy C2CNT (CO 2 to CNT) molten electrolysis ( earlier post ) to materials such as concrete or steel not only forms composites with significantly better properties, but amplifies the reduction of CO 2. A) Carbon mitigation with CNT-cement. (B)

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

Green Car Congress

In the years ahead, it will be possible to produce it at low cost using wind and solar power, to store it underground for months, and then to pipe it on-demand to power everything from ships to steel mills. Note: Clean hydrogen refers to both renewable and low-carbon hydrogen (from fossil-fuels with CCS). MMBtu) in 2050.

Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

In a region known for long, dark winter nights, Polar Night Energy is building a system in the city of Tampere that can heat buildings with stored solar energy — all day, all night, and all winter long. This means that storing and distributing energy is as important as its generation. The apparent contradictions do not end there.

C-Zero raises $11.5M Series A to produce clean hydrogen from natural gas via methane pyrolysis

Green Car Congress

C-Zero’s technology, which was initially developed at the University of California, Santa Barbara, uses innovative thermocatalysis to split methane into hydrogen and solid carbon in a process known as methane pyrolysis. The methane decomposition reaction is moderately endothermic; the energy requirement per mole of hydrogen produced (8.9

FortisBC, Suncor, Hazer to pilot methane pyrolysis for hydrogen production with graphite byproduct

Green Car Congress

The project, located at Suncor’s Burrard Terminal site, will produce hydrogen while storing the carbon byproduct as solid synthetic graphite that can be sold on the open market for manufacturing or industrial use. A partnership between FortisBC Energy Inc., We are delighted to work with FortisBC, Suncor and the government of B.C.

Chinese steel group Tsingshan investing $375M to build lithium plant in Argentina with Eramet

Green Car Congress

It is a key milestone in the deployment of our strategic roadmap which aims at positioning Eramet as a reference player in metals for the energy transition. The project consists in extracting brine from the salar and processing it into lithium carbonate. Fresh water is then used to release the stored lithium.
