SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. The facility will process 42,000 tons of recycled waste annually.

Perspective: Drive Star Conversion Program Could Cut US Oil Use in Half by 2020

Green Car Congress

If we can again succeed like that, in a decade, we’ll look back and know that we got a great deal: safer, healthier, better lives, an economy no longer held hostage to petro-dictatorships and blindered, monopolistic companies, and a significant response to climate change. When they’re mass-produced, conversions will cost under $10-$15,000.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. Why all the hype about hydrogen?
