SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. The facility will process 42,000 tons of recycled waste annually.

Uhde’s PRENFLO Gasification Process to be Part of 113M BioTfueL BTL Project in France

Green Car Congress

Capital-intensive systems, such as the waste heat boiler system, the dry fly ash removal system and the quench gas compressor, are therefore no longer required. Uhde’s PRENFLO process is based on the Koppers-Totzek coal gasification process which was developed around 70 years ago. The overall budget for the BioTfueL project is €112.7

Calor introduces Neste BioLPG to the UK market; targeting fully renewable by 2040

Green Car Congress

The UK government’s Clean Growth Strategy outlines ambitious new policies to phase out the use of high carbon fossil fuels such as heating oil and coal typically used off the gas grid for domestic heat during the 2020s. This would facilitate the decentralization of energy provision and bring production much closer to areas of demand.

EEA: increase in EU GHG emissions, mostly due to transport, hampers progress towards 2030 targets

Green Car Congress

The energy sector was able to reduce its emissions due to the decreasing share of coal used to produce electricity and heat in the EU. In 2017, emissions covered by the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD) (including transport, buildings, agriculture and waste) increased for the third year in a row. in 2017 from 2016.
