bp and thyssenkrupp Steel to advance the decarbonization of steel production; low-carbon hydrogen and renewable power

Green Car Congress

By replacing the coal-fired blast furnaces with direct reduction plants in which iron ore is reduced with low-carbon hydrogen, thyssenkrupp Steel intends to make steel production climate-neutral in the long term. We provide fuel and feedstock for steel production while our platforms, pipelines, and turbine towers are made from steel.

Siemens building HVDC transmission system with record capacity of 2,000 MW

Green Car Congress

This system, which is being partially funded by the EU, connects the French and Spanish grids between Baixas and Santa Llogaia. At present the two countries’ grids are linked only by low-capacity lines. Power grids will have to be substantially upgraded throughout Europe before more renewable energy can be used, Siemens says.

IEEE Discusses 6 Simple Solutions to Climate Change at COP27

Cars That Think

Simple, effective solutions that can help lessen the impact of climate change already exist. Rahman, a power expert and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech , is the former chair of the IEEE ad hoc committee on climate change. Another efficient option he pointed out is the combined cycle power plant.
