BMW launching iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet

Green Car Congress

The BMW Group presented the first BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicles in a pilot fleet that will go into service this year. This active driving experience will therefore be the first chance for people not involved in the development process to gain a direct impression of what the BMW iX5 Hydrogen has to offer.

HyIron opens direct reduction plant for green iron

Green Car Congress

At the plant, iron ore will be reduced solely with the aid of green hydrogen. The first step in the research project is to produce more than one ton of green iron/hour using green hydrogen. Here the hydrogen reacts completely with the oxygen in the iron ore and converts it into elemental iron (direct reduced iron (DRI)).

$12M German project to develop technology for syngas production from CO2 and H2; new hydrogen production method

Green Car Congress

In the first step, an novel high-temperature technology will process natural gas to obtain hydrogen and carbon. In a subsequent catalytic process step, the hydrogen is then reacted with large volumes of CO 2 , also from other industrial processes, to produce syngas. Compared to other processes, this technology produces much less CO 2.

Member of Swiss National Councils fills up with sunfire solar diesel to call attention to need for regulatory reform

Green Car Congress

In December 2014, Böhni submitted a motion for consideration by the National Council (Nationalrat) that would create the legal basis for importers and manufacturers of vehicles that run on CO 2 -neutral synthetic fuels made in Switzerland to receive credit for the corresponding reduction in CO 2 emissions under fleet emission rules.

BMW outlines iFACTORY production strategy; transformation to e-mobility; Plant Debrecen first CO2-free plant

Green Car Congress

By 2030 we aim to reduce CO2 emissions from production by 80 percent compared to 2019, — Milan Nedeljkovi?. Metal offcuts and filings from milling, for example, will be recycled and reused, while waste heat from cooling will be fed into a circuit to heat indoor spaces and water.

DLR and partners inaugurate largest solar-thermochemical H2 production plant

Green Car Congress

The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fĂĽr Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), together with international project partners, has inaugurated the largest solar-chemical installation yet for the production of hydrogen. In the transport sector, hydrogen drives can make a significant contribution towards climate protection.
