Researchers use chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen sulfide is emitted from manure piles and sewer pipes and is a key byproduct of industrial activities including refining oil and gas, producing paper and mining. The process uses relatively little energy and a relatively cheap material—iron sulfide with a trace amount of molybdenum as an additive.

BNEF: steel industry set to pivot to hydrogen in green push; additional $278B for clean capacity and retrofits

Green Car Congress

Steel is responsible for around 7% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions every year and is one of the world’s most polluting industries. Government and corporate net-zero commitments are pushing the steel industry to cancel out its emissions by 2050. The steel industry cannot afford to wait for the 2040s to start its transition.

Delivery of renewable isooctane to Audi tips interesting potential non-biomass pathway for biogasoline; “e-benzin” as solar fuel

Green Car Congress

Global Bioenergies, founded in 2008, has developed a synthetic isobutene pathway that, when implanted in a micro-organism, enables the organism to convert sugars (e.g., The process to convert isobutene to isooctane is well-established. So here our isobutene would allow us to integrate this very cheap fossil component into the fuel.

Electric Scooter vs Petrol Scooter : Huge Money Savings

Plug In India

This is mostly due to the hard work done by the Indian EV Industry as more and more localization is happening. PURE EV ePluto 7G Electric Scooter Ampere Magnus Pro Electric Scooter Fuel Expenses The main reason electric scooters are so compelling is because of their extremely low costs of operating it.

MIT/Tsinghua high-rate aluminum yolk-shell nanoparticle anode for Li-ion battery with long cycle life and high capacity

Green Car Congress

The one-pot synthesis route is simple and industrially scalable, and the result may “ reverse the lagging status of aluminum among high-theoretical-capacity anodes ,” they noted. They converted the alumina layer to titania (TiO 2 ), a better conductor of electrons and lithium ions when it is very thin. —Li et al.

Perspective: Drive Star Conversion Program Could Cut US Oil Use in Half by 2020

Green Car Congress

When he proposes steps to improve oil industry safety, we hope he won’t say, “Let’s make sure this never happens again.” We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. And oil only seems cheap. Well, America’s auto industry delivered over 100,000. We just had to do it.

Coulomb, MasterCard, and the future of public charging

Plugs and Cars

But given the relatively low cost of electricity, and the large public environmental benefit, it seems premature to presume monetization or let the desire for monetization drive the placement of charge stations. I think it makes sense for public resources to drive the early rollout.
