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.

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

Green Car Congress

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the European Union rose slightly in 2017, mostly because of the transport sector. The rise is mostly due to the increase of oil consumption from road transport. 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.

Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions. CH 4 is mainly generated by agricultural activities, the production of coal and gas, as well as waste treatment and disposal. N 2 O is mainly emitted by agricultural soil activities and chemical production.

The Future of Fission Reactors May Be Small

Cars That Think

NuScale has plans to build a US plant in Idaho by 2030; the company is involved in the UK , Poland , and Romania as well. Just like their larger counterparts, SMRs will produce nuclear waste. According to one recent Stanford and University of British Columbia study , SMRs yield more nuclear waste than even conventional nuclear plants.)

This Computer Pioneer’s Invention Made Zoom Possible

Cars That Think

Because electrical engineering uses a lot of mathematics, a subject Gelenbe liked, he figured he wouldn’t be wasting his time by studying EE. He also created the FlexSim , a computer-based model of a production system used for inventory, assembly, and transportation systems. He kind of twisted my arm.”
