Gold Hydrogen Program coalition launches program for subsurface biomanufacturing of hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The Gold Hydrogen Program , a coalition of organizations seeking to support the scale of this clean energy resource, announced its launch and the debut of a pilot microbial Gold Hydrogen Process. Found naturally deep in the Earth, “gold hydrogen” is a resource that is produced biologically and in the subsurface.

Rice team develops plasmonic photocatalyst for one-step light-driven conversion of H2S to hydrogen and sulfur

Green Car Congress

Rice University researchers and colleagues at Princeton and Syzygy Plasmonics have developed a plasmonic photocatalyst for the direct decomposition of hydrogen sulfide gas into hydrogen and sulfur, as an alternative to the industrial Claus process. A paper on the work appears in ACS Energy Letters.

Unitel Develops New Process for Algal Biofuels Production; Renewable Jet Fuel One Output

Green Car Congress

Some of the features included in our technology can be traced back to the nineties when we designed and built several first-of-its-kind slurry-based coal liquefaction and supercritical CO 2 extraction demo units. The high-efficiency heat interchange system was developed in 1994 when I was Chairman of Xytel-Bechtel in Houston.

New low-temp photocatalytic nanoparticle could shrink carbon footprint for syngas; methane dry reforming

Green Car Congress

Syngas is a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas that can be made from coal, biomass, natural gas and other sources. The hydrogen atoms pair up to form hydrogen gas, and the carbon atoms combine with oxygen in the form of carbon monoxide. Zhou said the syngas catalyst uses a similar design.
