Fraunhofer working on optimized methanol reformers to deliver hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Converting hydrogen into methanol can provide a solution, as not only is methanol much easier to transport than hydrogen, it can also be stored almost unlimited at ambient pressure. This paves the way for the production of green hydrogen in sunny regions and its conversion into methanol and its simplified transport. © Fraunhofer IMM.

Study finds carbon capture & storage could be financial opportunity for conventional ethanol plants

Green Car Congress

Looking only at the cost of capturing the CO 2 —not including building pipelines or sequestering the captured CO 2 —the team found that 60% of current CO 2 emissions (i.e., 27 Mt per year) could be captured for less than $25 per metric ton. —LLNL scientist Sean McCoy, co-author. —Sean McCoy.

UCSD, South 8 team report improved liquefied-gas electrolytes for Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

Improvements to a class of battery electrolyte first introduced in 2017—liquefied gas electrolytes—could pave the way to replacing the graphite anode with a lithium-metal anode. However, one of the main technical hurdles to making the switch is that lithium metal anodes are not compatible with conventional electrolytes.
