US-based Raven SR to build waste-to-hydrogen project in Spain

Green Car Congress

Raven SR, a US-based renewable fuels company ( earlier post ), plans to build a waste-to-hydrogen production facility in Aragón, Spain, following the opening of its subsidiary Raven SR Iberia in Zaragoza, announced earlier this month. About 15% of feedstock is converted into a solid bio-carbon which can potentially be sold.

Repsol produces renewable hydrogen from biomethane from urban solid waste

Green Car Congress

Spain-based energy and petrochemical company Repsol has produced renewable hydrogen using biomethane as raw material for the first time. This renewable hydrogen was used to manufacture fuels with a low carbon footprint, such as gasoline, diesel, or kerosene for aviation. GW in 2030. billion, compared to the €5.5

Ford experiments with auto part prototypes made from olive tree waste

Teslarati

Ford engineers in Cologne started researching the possibilities of using food waste to create auto part prototypes. They found that pruning olive trees created 7 million tons of waste every year and thought it would be an excellent material for their experiment. One major benefit is that these fibers are usually waste.

Neste to receive €88M from EU toward green hydrogen and carbon capture & storage at Porvoo; SHARC

Green Car Congress

The project introduces carbon capture and storage (CCS) and electrolysis solutions that allow decarbonization of production at the refinery. Hydrogen is essential in the production processes of transportation fuels, so the green and blue hydrogen will reduce the carbon intensity of these fuels. BECCS@STHLM, led by Stockholm Exergi.

New simple, energy-efficient process for the direct production of renewable diesel from biomass waste

Green Car Congress

A team at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) has designed a new simple, energy-efficient process (that also does not require any organic solvents) for the production of renewable diesel from biomass waste. For example, the excessive cleavage of carboncarbon bonds and subsequent reformation leads to energy losses.

UBC engineers use fiber from recycled tires to develop more resilient concrete

Green Car Congress

University of British Columbia (UBC) engineers have used polymeric scrap tire fibers (STF) to develop a more resilient type of concrete that could be used for concrete structures such as buildings, roads, dams and bridges, while reducing landfill waste. Relative to a plain reference mixture, 0.4% STF and 0.3% and 99.4%, respectively.
