German power-to-gas facility opens green methanation plant; €28M STORE&GO project

Green Car Congress

million) STORE&GO research project. While the current facility feeds pure hydrogen (“WindGas”) directly into the gas grid, the new methanation plant provides for the generation of “green” methane. This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power.

CEMEX, Sasol and ENERTRAG partner to turn CO2 from cement plant into Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Green Car Congress

The consortium will source green hydrogen generated exclusively from wind and solar energy from ENERTRAG. The green hydrogen will be produced as part of the ENERTRAG IPCEI project “Electrolysis Corridor East Germany” with an electrolysis capacity of 210 MW, which will enable the production of 35,000 tons of e-kerosene fuel per year.

New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

Excess energy produced by photovoltaics and wind energy could be stored through the electrocatalytic production of fuels from CO 2. Conversion into liquid fuels would be advantageous because they have high energy density and are safe to store and transport. These could then be burned as needed.

CESifo: EVs not the best option for reduction in on-road CO2 in Germany given power mix

Green Car Congress

According to the study, natural gas combustion engines are an ideal technology for transitioning to vehicles powered by hydrogen or “green” methane in the long term. They are an ideal bridge technology for cars that can later use “green” methane. —Buchal et al. —Professor Buchal. —Prof.

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.

Researchers demonstrate efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2+ alcohols

Green Car Congress

When powered by renewable solar or wind energy sources, the electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) is a promising approach to produce value-added chemicals/fuels and store renewable energy to achieve the goal of net-zero-emissions.

KIT spin-off producing synthetic natural gas from green hydrogen and CO2 from sewage sludge

Green Car Congress

The process uses energy from renewable sources and stores it in the chemical energy carrier methane. In the past four years, Spain already produced 40% of its power from renewable energy sources, mostly wind energy. The renewable gas can be stored in the existing gas infrastructure and transported to areas all over Spain.
