DOE launches Clean Fuels & Products Shot

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Clean Fuels & Products Shot , a new initiative that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from carbon-based fuels and products significantly. Biomass and waste conversion technologies designed to use green electricity and hydrogen to maximize carbon retention in products.

DOE awards $22.1M to 10 nuclear technology projects including clean hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

million to 10 industry-led projects to advance nuclear technologies, including two aimed at expanding clean hydrogen production with nuclear energy. A well-established downstream syngas-to-synfuel conversion process, such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, converts the syngas to liquid synfuel for a total projected cost of less than $4/gallon.

New nickel-gallium catalyst could lead to low-cost, clean production of methanol; small-scale, low-pressure devices

Green Car Congress

If hydrogen production is to be distributed and produced in small-scale devices, it would be attractive if the subsequent conversion of H 2 into a liquid fuel could also be performed in simpler, low-pressure decentralized units. We’d like to make the catalyst a little more clean. —lead author Felix Studt, SLAC.
