Lux Research: cost of electrofuels remains far from viable

Green Car Congress

Production costs per barrel of oil equivalent. The cost of electrofuels—fuels produced by catalyst-based systems for light capture, water electrolysis, and catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to liquid fuels—remains far away from viable, according to a new analysis by Lux Research.

Cemvita demonstrates “gold hydrogen” production in situ, sets up subsidiary

Green Car Congress

Cemvita scientists increased microbe performance by six and a half times the rate needed to produce hydrogen at $1/kg, a key milestone necessary to advance the program toward commercialization. According to a report from S&P Global Commodity Insights, the cost of electrolytic hydrogen from renewable energy spiked as high as $16.80/kg

Researchers split seawater without pre-treatment to produce green hydrogen

Green Car Congress

University of Adelaide’s Professor Shizhang Qiao, co-corresponding author, said that the researchers used a non-precious and cheap catalyst in a commercial electrolyzer. A flow-type natural seawater electrolyser with Lewis acid-modified electrodes (Cr 2 O 3 –CoO x ) exhibits the industrially required current density of 1.0 A cm

LUX Research: harvesting technologies could cut biomass feedstock costs by $25 per ton

Green Car Congress

A new LUX Research report suggests that harvesting technologies could cut the costs of biomass for feedstock for renewable fuels and chemicals by $25 per ton. Currently, the high cost of capital and operations limit bio-based materials and chemicals to a few facilities located where corn and cane are plentiful. per gallon, in costs.

Tesla Semi will be incredibly affordable with US’ revamped EV tax credit

Teslarati

Long-range all-electric trucks like the Tesla Semi will not come cheap. Battery costs are declining quickly, but even Tesla still lists its 300-mile Semi variant with an estimated starting price of $150,000. I really expect Tesla to raise prices on the Semi, its too cheap at this point.

Univ of Washington team working to make poplar coppice viable cheap, high-volume biofuel feedstock

Green Car Congress

Our research proved that poplar coppice can be a good option to meet the cheap, high-volume criteria of biofuel feedstock. Earlier studies show that poplar woodchips are a viable biofuel source, but costs still don’t pencil out, especially since trees are cut just once every 10-plus years.
