Sandia team boosts hydrogen production activity by molybdenum disulfide four-fold; low-cost catalyst for solar-driven water splitting

Green Car Congress

Improving the capacity and efficiency of the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) is an enduring challenge of green energy production and artificial photosynthesis. Nevertheless, because of the scarcity and cost of Pt, a more abundant alternative is needed for cost-effective implementation. Molly is dirt cheap and abundant.

SpaceX is building launch pad tanks out of Starship parts and that’s a big deal

Teslarati

SpaceX has begun installing the first of numerous propellant storage tanks at its first orbital South Texas launch facilities – a mostly ordinary and expected step made extraordinary by the fact that those tanks will be built out of Starship parts. Just dawned on me that this is a much bigger deal than it might seem.

PNNL study finds US could grow enough algae to produce 25B gallons of fuel per year

Green Car Congress

Achieving larger production volumes would require the utilization of less water-efficient sites and relatively expensive saline waters, they suggested. Freshwater availability and saline water delivery costs are most favorable for the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and Florida peninsula, where evaporation relative to precipitation is moderate.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades. And in any case, an inflexible approach to regulation has caused the cost of new nuclear to balloon – despite it being perhaps the most obvious solution to our long-term energy needs. Then came the shale gas revolution, pioneered in Texas.

PNNL, OSU team develops a durable, inexpensive molybdenum-phosphide catalyst for efficient conversion of wastewater & seawater into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Like seawater, the MoP catalyst material is widely available, and therefore, cheap. This integrated design increases productivity and lowers equipment costs. But with the high cost of platinum, the team needed a catalyst that could lower production costs to around two dollars per kilogram of hydrogen.
