RWE and ArcelorMittal intend to build and operate offshore wind farms and hydrogen facilities for low-emissions steelmaking

Green Car Congress

Energy company RWE and steel producer ArcelorMittal have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to develop, build and operate offshore wind farms and hydrogen facilities that will supply the renewable energy and green hydrogen required to produce low-emissions steel in Germany.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

3 Oil Majors That Bet Big On Renewables

Green Car Congress

Further, according to Rystad Energy, Big Oil is expected to pump in $166B into new oil and gas ventures over the next five years, thus dwarfing the currently specified outlay of just $18B (less than 10% of capex) for solar and wind energy projects. Good case in point: Italian multinational oil and gas giant Eni S.p.A. 2 Total SA.

ETH Zürich, Total team develops new catalyst to convert CO2 and H2 directly to methanol efficiently

Green Car Congress

Scientists at ETH Zürich and oil and gas company Total have developed a new catalyst that efficiently converts CO 2 and hydrogen directly into methanol. Producing the second raw material, hydrogen, requires electricity. ETH Zürich and Total have jointly filed a patent for the technology.

Why Hydrogen power is not the answer

EV Info

There has been a growing push from many sides saying that Hydrogen is the answer to all our energy problems. A few weeks ago JCB, the big yellow digger firm was beating the Hydrogen drum as the founder’s son Jo said. “I Jo is just one of many pitching the benefits of Hydrogen. As a gas hydrogen or H2. But it is not.

Liquid Light unveils cost-advantaged catalytic process to make chemicals from CO2

Green Car Congress

Liquid Light’s core technology is centered on low-energy catalytic electrochemistry to convert CO 2 to chemicals, combined with hydrogenation and purification operations. Further, Liquid Light’s process can sequester carbon when using energy sources such as solar, hydro, wind or nuclear power.
