Raven SR & Hyzon Motors to build up to 100 waste-to-hydrogen hubs

Green Car Congress

At the hubs, which can be built at or near landfills, Raven SR will convert mixed and multiple organic wastes, including municipal solid waste, greenwaste, food waste, medical, paper, etc. Raven can also easily process natural and renewable gases alone or combined with solid waste. 22 CCR § 66260.10 Definitions).

Graforce plasma electrolysis for efficient generation of hydrogen from industrial waste water; partnering with Audi

Green Car Congress

Berlin-based Graforce Hydro GmbH, the developer of a plasma electrolyzer—the Plasmalyzer —is applying its technology for the highly efficient generation of hydrogen from industrial waste water. The technology we’ve developed is capable of cleaning wastewater and producing a low-cost, low-emission fuel from it.

New ORNL non-precious metal catalyst shows promise as low-cost component for low-temperature exhaust aftertreatment

Green Car Congress

However, in addition to their high cost, PGM catalysts struggle with CO oxidation at low temperatures (<200 °C) due to inhibition by hydrocarbons in exhaust streams. As we make engines more efficient, less wasted heat exits the engine into the exhaust system where catalysts clean up the pollutant emissions.

Efficient recovery of lithium from spent LiFePO4 batteries via air oxidation–water leaching at room temperature

Green Car Congress

The use of LFP batteries in EVs is increasing rapidly, especially in China, due to low-cost, safety, excellent thermal stability and superior cycling performance. The toxic electrolytes, binder, and other organic chemicals will result in serious environmental pollution if the spent batteries are not properly treated.

DOE to invest $6.4M to develop hydrogen-fueled turbines

Green Car Congress

There is renewed interest in the use of hydrogen, a clean-burning fuel, for turbine-based electricity generation. Hydrogen production from fossil fuels, coupled with carbon capture, utilization, and storage, can generate low-cost hydrogen with net-negative carbon emissions.
