IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

This is an expensive process and requires around 30% of the energy stored within the hydrogen. Solid Air Hydrogen Liquefaction (SAHL) consists of storing the cooling energy from the regasification of hydrogen, by solidifying air, and transporting the solid air back to where the hydrogen was liquefied. Montanari, P., Schneider, P.,

Los Alamos-led study finds how to improve natural gas production in shale; hydrocarbon transport within nanopores

Green Car Congress

A new hydrocarbon study led by researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory contradicts conventional wisdom about how methane is trapped in rock, revealing a new strategy to access the valuable energy resource more easily. Their open-access study is published in Nature’s new Communications Earth & Environment journal. Hawley, Erik B.

Russian researchers develop wasteless joint processing of electric furnace and ladle slag to produce pig iron and clinker

Green Car Congress

Although residues of these slags are stored in dumps, these residues can be converted into valuable industrial products by interaction between the slag components. For this purpose, borate glass, a cheap waste material that also requires processing, was added to it. Being located within the city limits, they pollute the environment.

Oleophobic hydrophobic magnetic sponge selectively soaks up oil, sparing water and wildlife

Green Car Congress

Oil spill clean-up is an expensive and complicated process that often harms marine life and further damages the environment. The nanocomposite’s nanoporous 3D structure selectively interacts with and binds to the oil molecules, capturing and storing the oil until it is squeezed out. Vikas Nandwana, Stephanie M. Ribet, Roberto D.

USC team develops novel organic redox flow battery for large-scale energy storage

Green Car Congress

Since grid-scale electrical energy storage requires hundreds of gigawatt-hours to be stored, the batteries for this application must be inexpensive, robust, safe and sustainable. Such a system would create a minimal impact on the environment, and would likely be cheap, they figured. Surya Prakash and S.

QUB spin-out to commercialize to technique for production of MOFs; storage for natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

MOF manufacturing techniques have been limited as they are costly, slow and require large quantities of solvents, which can be toxic and harmful to the environment. MOFs have the highest surface-areas of any known materials; this incredibly high surface area means that MOFs are very good at storing gases. —Prof.
