Synhelion starts construction of DAWN demo plant to produce solar fuels

Green Car Congress

The demonstration plant will also serve as a model for future commercial plants. The reactor is fed with methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) of biowaste origin from a local paper mill, as well as water (H 2 O). The system as demonstrated has a production capacity of 100 standard cubic meters of syngas per hour.

Statoil to build the world’s first floating wind farm: Hywind Scotland

Green Car Congress

The decision triggers investments of around NOK 2 billion (US$238 million), realizing a 60-70% cost reduction per MW from the Hywind demo project in Norway. Our objective with the Hywind pilot park is to demonstrate the feasibility of future commercial, utility-scale floating wind farms. Production start is expected in late 2017.
