All Selectees. PROJECT TITLE. DESCRIPTION.
Reintroducing airships into the world’s transportation mix could contribute to lowering the transport sector’s carbon emissions and can play a role in establishing a sustainable hydrogen based economy, according to a new IIASA-led study. Hydrogen is a good energy carrier and a valuable energy storage alternative.
Additionally, it can operate as a dispatchable load, which may match the intermittency of renewable sources such as wind and solar. Running reactions in a single step without the prerequisite of generating hydrogen—having the ability to run water directly—is a very novel platform.
Partners of the P2X Kopernikus project on the premises of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany have demonstrated the production of fuel from air-captured CO2 using—for the first time—a container-based test facility integrating all four chemical process steps needed to implement a continuous process.
Recent breakthroughs in separations and catalysis, along with long-trend reductions in solar and wind electricity costs, have significantly increased the potential for cost-competitive renewable fuels from direct air capture (DAC) of CO 2. TW of combined solar and wind capacity for the United States alone will be required.
When the energy required to build the e-gas facility and wind power generators is included in a comprehensive analysis, CO 2 emissions under e-Gas operation are still less than 30 grams per km (48.28 The start of the chain has electricity produced from renewable energy sources; the end products are hydrogen and the synthetic Audi e-gas.

The Audi e-gas plant, which can convert 6MW of input power, utilizes renewable electricity for electrolysis to produce oxygen and hydrogen. Because there is not yet a widespread hydrogen infrastructure, the hydrogen is reacted with CO 2 in a methanation unit to generate renewable synthetic methane, or Audi e-gas. Earlier post.).
While the current facility feeds pure hydrogen (“WindGas”) directly into the gas grid, the new methanation plant provides for the generation of “green” methane. In this second stage, hydrogen from regenerative energy sources is converted into methane (CH 4 ), i.e. synthetic natural gas, using CO 2 from a bio-ethanol plant.
The results show that electromethanogenesis can be used to convert electrical current produced from renewable energy sources (such as wind, solar, or biomass) into a biofuel (methane) as well as serving as a method for the capture of carbon dioxide. We actually find very little hydrogen in the gas phase in nature.
Major corporate and public sector partners in Japan are launching an effort to test a full carbon-neutral hydrogen supply chain powered by renewable wind energy.

Gas also offers the opportunity of storing electrical energy from renewable sources such as wind power. This involves producing hydrogen by electrolysis, which can be used to operate future fuel cell vehicles. The hydrogen can also be used to produce methane in a second step of the process chain—i.e., Audi’s e-gas project.
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.
The process developed by SunFire begins with the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen by using electrolysis, driven by renewable electrical energy (derived from sunlight, wind or water). A subsequent step is the reaction of hydrogen and the CO 2 to form renewable, synthetic gasoline, diesel and kerosene.

The sooner we get the hydrogen economy going, the better, and we are all committed to making this a reality.
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.
volts versus the reversible hydrogen electrode) in CO-saturated alkaline water. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes of a conventional cell, a current flows and water is converted to oxygen gas at one electrode (the anode) and hydrogen gas at the other electrode (the cathode). volts to –0.5?volts
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.
The three leading alternatives generally advanced at present are electric (battery), hydrogen and biofuels; the first two options require fundamental large-scale changes in our energy infrastructure, while the latter will not meet the exceptionally high and ever-growing demand for transportation fuels.In This same analysis (Pearson et al.

A particularly significant route currently being developed for CO 2 utilization is catalytic CO 2 hydrogenation. CH 4 is an ideal H-supplier to replace H 2 in CO 2 hydrogenation as CH 4 has a high H density and is available from a range of sources (e.g. natural gas, shale gas, biogas and flared gas).
The new process, which uses a carbon dioxide and hydrogen route rather than the traditional carbon monoxide and hydrogen route, could also open up a pathway for the direct use of CO 2 and H 2 derived from low-carbon processes (nuclear, wind, solar, bio). This process would produce 0.5
