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

Green Car Congress

SGH2’s gasification process uses a plasma-enhanced thermal catalytic conversion process optimized with oxygen-enriched gas. The end result is high purity hydrogen and a small amount of biogenic carbon dioxide, which is not additive to greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why our partnership with SGH2 is so important.

MIT study finds real-world NOx from diesels cars in Europe greatly exceeds laboratory levels; transboundary emissions cause 70% of health impacts

Green Car Congress

It’s a case where diesel has probably been beneficial in terms of climate impacts, but it’s come at the cost of human health. That is, some countries, such as Poland and Switzerland, produced very little NO x emissions and yet experienced a disproportionate number of premature deaths from excess emissions originating in other countries.
