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”. Hydrogen sulfide is emitted from manure piles and sewer pipes and is a key byproduct of industrial activities including refining oil and gas, producing paper and mining.

DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. Many of these R&D efforts can be applied across both the energy and the industrial sectors. DOE Funding: $1,493,318; Non-DOE Funding: $373,329; Total: $1,866,647.

DOE to award funding to 10 projects at 9 universities for high-hydrogen-fueled turbine technology development

Green Car Congress

The projects will develop technologies for use in a new generation of advanced turbines that operate using coal-derived synthesis gas (syngas) and high hydrogen content (HHC) fuels. Physics-based design guides that can be used by the gas turbine industry to predict (and mitigate) flame holding tendencies will be developed.
