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.

New UK energy strategy pushes new nuclear; up to 8 additional reactors

Green Car Congress

Under the plan, 95% of electricity by 2030 could be low-carbon, the government said. This would represent up to around 25% of projected electricity demand—three times more than now. The UK EPR design also marks significant progress towards sustainability. The two projects combined would generate about 6.5GW of power.

LanzaTech collaborating with Swayana to convert waste gases from ferroalloy production to ethanol

Green Car Congress

South African engineering company Swayana has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with LanzaTech to collaborate on developing projects for the production of ethanol and higher value products from waste gases in the ferroalloy and titania smelting sectors. This CO is either utilized for energy production in boilers, or it is flared.
