China’s shift toward alternative fuels in order to cut its reliance on imported oil is creating large opportunities, notably in natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and in the conversion of coal to ethanol, according to a new report from Lux Research. Coal-to-ethanol is on verge of large-scale commercialization. Renewable resources.

The traditional process of producing ammonia has used “grey” or “black” hydrogen from either natural gas or coal. It can be used for storing large amounts of hydrogen in a liquid form that builds on existing global supply chain infrastructure. GeoPura plans to use this hydrogen to supply Hydrogen Power Units (HPUs).
