8 Rivers announces 8RH2 CO2 Convective Reformer for ultra-low carbon hydrogen production from natural gas

Green Car Congress

8 Rivers Capital announced the development of the 8RH2 CO 2 Convective Reformer—a technology for the production of ultra-low carbon hydrogen from natural gas. The only by-products are liquid water and a stream of high-purity, pipeline-ready CO 2. Clean Power: transformative zero-emissions power cycles.

Roskill: CO2 emissions from lithium production set to triple by 2025

Green Car Congress

With demand for lithium set to increase over the next decade, Roskill has calculated , using its in-house analysis, that CO 2 emissions from lithium production are set to triple by 2025 versus current levels and to grow by a factor of six by 2030, with the vast majority of this coming from mineral concentrate production, shipping and refining.

thyssenkrupp greenlights construction of €2B hydrogen-powered direct reduction plant for low-CO2 steel

Green Car Congress

We are firmly convinced of this, and this is also borne out by this investment, which heralds a new era for steel production in the Ruhr region. As part of its tkH2Steel transformation project, coal-based blast furnaces will be replaced by hydrogen-powered direct reduction plants. —Martina Merz, CEO of thyssenkrupp AG.

EIA projects US energy-related CO2 emissions to remain near current level through 2050; increased natural gas consumption

Green Car Congress

Petroleum emissions from other sectors have fallen in recent years as equipment and processes that use petroleum fuels have been replaced by those using other fuels, in particular, natural gas. Natural gas is the least carbon-intensive fossil fuel, and for decades natural gas made up the smallest portion of US energy-related CO 2 emissions.
