PCC SE and Landsvirkjun to convert silicon metal plant CO2 emissions to methanol

Green Car Congress

The process of methanol synthesis requires the input of pure carbon dioxide and hydrogen from water electrolysis, with the only by-product being oxygen and water. Landsvirkjun generates energy from renewable sources: hydro, geothermal and wind. —Hörður Arnarson, CEO Landsvirkjun.

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.

Anaergia to supply CO2 to European Energy A/S for green e-methanol production as fuel for container ships

Green Car Congress

European Energy, a major multinational renewable wind and solar energy producer, will produce green e-methanol from this biogenic CO 2. The benefit for us is the ability to sell the biogenic CO 2 from our plants that is produced when we convert organic materials to methane and CO 2. —Andrew Benedek, Chairman and CEO of Anaergia.

Audi opens power-to-gas facility in Werlte/Emsland; e-gas from water, green electricity and CO2

Green Car Congress

The Audi e-gas plant, which can convert 6MW of input power, utilizes renewable electricity for electrolysis to produce oxygen and hydrogen. Water and oxygen are the only by-products. At this facility, microorganisms use water (brackish, salt or wastewater) sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce high-purity fuels. Earlier post.).
