Nippon Steel to invest in Canadian coal company; steelmaking coal offtake agreement

Green Car Congress

EVR), which will be spun-off from Teck as an independent publicly-listed Canadian company and will own and operate the steelmaking coal business previously conducted by Teck. Nippon Steel has conducted technological development to reduce CO 2 emissions by injecting hydrogen into blast furnaces since 2008.

Kawasaki’s liquefied hydrogen carrier departs to pick up first cargo

Green Car Congress

Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ Suiso Frontier , the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier, has left Japan to pick up its first hydrogen cargo in Australia. The vessel can carry 75 tonnes of liquefied hydrogen in one trip. J-POWER) to form the CO 2 -free Hydrogen Energy Supply-chain Technology Research Association (HySTRA).

Researchers use chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have used a chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas—commonly called “sewer gas”. Compared with the undoped sulfur carrier, Mo dopant facilitates the surface hydrogen diffusion, thus promoting the overall H 2 S conversion.

Siemens Energy, FFI and GeoPura developing prototype ammonia cracker to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

million) ammonia cracker prototype designed to produce green hydrogen at industrial scale. The prototype will use ammonia to deliver 200kg of hydrogen a day—enough to power around 5-10 hydrogen fuel cell-electric buses. We have just 13 years to deliver a net-zero electricity grid for the UK. million (US$4.24

HYBRIT produces hydrogen-reduced sponge iron on pilot scale

Green Car Congress

SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall have now produced hydrogen-reduced sponge iron on a pilot scale. The test production was carried out in HYBRIT’s pilot plant in Luleå and shows that it is possible to reduce iron ore with fossil-free hydrogen, instead of removing the oxygen with coal and coke. So far, about 100 tons have been produced.

ICCT LCA study finds only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways

Green Car Congress

The results show there is no realistic pathway to full decarbonization of internal combustion engine vehicles, and that only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways. Natural gas does not offer climate benefits compared to gasoline and diesel, and many biofuel pathways do not, either.
