Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. This means that storing and distributing energy is as important as its generation. The apparent contradictions do not end there.

BNEF report finds hydrogen promising decarbonization pathway, but carbon prices and emissions policies required

Green Car Congress

The falling cost of making hydrogen from wind and solar power offers a promising route to cutting emissions in some of the most fossil-fuel-dependent sectors of the economy, such as steel, heavy-duty vehicles, shipping and cement, according to a new report from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Storing and moving hydrogen is challenging.

A specific objective is to have the outcome accepted as a reference by all relevant stakeholders, including industry, academia and government. They also note that large-scale production of synthetic fuels or hydrogen from coal or gas offers the potential for GHG emissions reduction—but only if CO 2 can be captured and stored.

Government comes to realize that Hydrogen is not the answer to home boiler replacement conundrum

EV Info

Clueless ministers are scrambling to shore up a key part of the country’s net zero carbon strategy after the findings in a peer-reviewed study suggested that even hydrogen produced using allegedly low-emission methods can be more polluting than gas or coal. Hydrogen can also be generated by electrolysis of water.

U.N. Kills Any Plans to Use Mercury as a Rocket Propellant

Cars That Think

Bender is referring to the 2013 Minamata Convention on Mercury , a U.N. Mercury is otherwise found as a by-product of other processes, such as the burning of coal. It’s also liquid at room temperature, making it efficient to store and use. But then a company hit on the idea to use it as a spacecraft propellant.
