Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

NETL researchers create MOF-based luminescent sensor to detect aluminum impurities in rare earth element sources

Green Car Congress

As a proof-of-concept, the manufactured sensing films were tested on three fly ash leachates, and the fluorescence intensity correlated well with the aluminum concentration in the samples, highlighting the sensor’s potential for real-world use. NETL researchers have also developed MOF-based luminescent sensors for REEs.

Tenneco exploring synthetic fuels for climate-neutral mobility; NAMOSYN project

Green Car Congress

Synthetic fuels for passenger vehicles, commercial trucks or even marine applications could play an important role in achieving a near-zero emissions mobility, by using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to create a closed CO 2 cycle when viewed from a holistic “well-to-wheel” perspective.
