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.

RWE Power, BRAIN to Cooperate on Conversion of CO2 to Microbial Biomass or Biomolecules

Green Car Congress

An experimental plant is to be located at RWE Power’s Coal Innovation Centre, at its Niederaussem power plant site. Working with RWE Power, we want to advance into a new era of CO 2 conversion. Both lead to more efficient CO 2 conversion, using these powerful designer micro-organisms. —Dr

ArcelorMittal investigates hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ore for steel production; CDA

Green Car Congress

To permanently reduce CO 2 emissions, steelmaker ArcelorMittal has developed a low-emissions technology strategy, which targets not only the use of alternative feedstocks and the conversion of CO 2 emissions, but also the direct avoidance of carbon (Carbon Direct Avoidance, CDA).

China unveils Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy; initial focus on clean fossil-fuel technologies

Green Car Congress

Li says the facility will combine all major areas of energy research, including cleaner fossil fuels, solar power, and fuel cell technologies.Mindful that China relies on coal for more than two-thirds of its electricity, Li expects the DNL to focus much of its resources on clean fossil-fuel technologies, at least initially.

Obama Announces Steps to Boost Biofuels, Clean Coal; RFS2, BCAP, BIWG and Carbon Capture and Storage Task Force

Green Car Congress

Second, the US Department of Agriculture proposed a rule on the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) that would provide financing to increase the conversion of biomass to bioenergy. It’s been said that the United States is the Saudi Arabia of coal—and that’s because, as I said, it’s one of our most abundant energy resources.

CAS researchers propose decoupling gasification reactions for greater control and optimized outcomes

Green Car Congress

Gasification is emerging as a core technology for the production of chemicals and cleaner power, and refers to a process for converting solid fuels, including coal, biomass, and wastes, into either fuel gas (containing CH 4 and some N 2 usually) or syngas (containing mainly H 2 and CO) for subsequent conversion into fuels and chemicals.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. Almost all hydrogen produced today is designated as brown, black, or gray, meaning it was generated by burning natural gas or coal. And the world is going to need a lot more of it. The process emits about 10 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of hydrogen.
