China’s first integrated methanol-to-hydrogen and hydrogen refueling service station now in operation

Green Car Congress

An upgrade from the previous fueling station offering oil, gas, hydrogen, electric charging services, the integrated complex can produce 1,000 kilograms of hydrogen a day, with a purity of 99.999%. As part of Sinopec’s commitment to becoming China’s No.1

Energy Vault to provide 1.6 GWh of gravity energy storage to support DG Fuels SAF projects

Green Car Congress

Energy Vault’s advanced gravity energy storage solutions are based on the proven physics and mechanical engineering fundamentals of pumped hydroelectric energy storage, but replace water with custom-made composite blocks, or “mobile masses”, which do not lose storage capacity over time.

Selective confinement of rare-earth-metal hydrates in host molecules

Green Car Congress

Reclaiming these elements from electronic waste is becoming more important. Rare-earth-metal ions are also found in bodies of water and in effluent. One reason for this is that they are usually hydrated, meaning that they are bound to water molecules. However, they are hard to separate individually from aqueous solutions.

H2 Green Steel and BMW Group sign final agreement on delivery of CO2-reduced steel

Green Car Congress

In a natural gas feed reactor, the iron ore reduction takes place with both carbon monoxide to produce sponge iron and carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce sponge iron and water. H2 Green Steel will replace the natural gas with green hydrogen to only allow for sponge iron and water to be produced.

Sandia fuel cell membrane outperforms market; temperature range and durability

Green Car Congress

By increasing the operational flexibility, this class of fuel cell can simplify the requirements for heat and water management, and potentially reduce the costs associated with the existing fully functional fuel cell systems, the researchers said. Further, this means that the operating temperature can’t get higher than water’s boiling point.
