EU Innovation Fund grants €108M to RWE’s waste-to-hydrogen project FUREC

Green Car Congress

RWE's FUREC project, which aims to produce circular and green hydrogen from non-recyclable municipal solid waste in Limburg, the Netherlands, received a €108-million grant from the EU’s Innovation Fund. The plant is expected to produce 54,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year. A final investment decision is to be made in 2024.

U Delaware team demonstrates efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for vehicles

Green Car Congress

The researchers started by analyzing the economics of hydrogen-, nitrogen-, and carbon-based fuels made by carbon-neutral pathways in a post-fossil world in which only water, air, and renewable electricity are available for fuel synthesis. Source-to-tank cost comparison of carbon-neutral transportation fuels. Zhao et al.

DOE awards U-Mich team $1.2M to synthesize and characterize promising MOFs for high-density H2 storage

Green Car Congress

million to investigate further highly promising metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that the team had identified earlier as more efficient materials for high-density on-board hydrogen storage for fuel cell vehicles. The database contains more than 600,000 entries, most of which aren’t MOFs and aren’t relevant for hydrogen storage.

Perspective: US Needs to Transition to Hydrous Ethanol as the Primary Renewable Transportation Fuel

Green Car Congress

US Environmental Protection Agency Grants Testing Waiver. In February, 2009, the US EPA granted Renergie, Inc. Essentially, the lower energy content of hydrous ethanol is counteracted by increasing engine performance due to higher heat of vaporization of ethanol and water in comparison with gasoline and anhydrous blends.

Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

Monique closes her EV’s fueling port and heads onto the highway with enough stored energy to drive 640 kilometers (400 miles). The scientists found the nanofluids could be used in a system with an energy-storing potential approaching that of a lithium-ion battery and with the pumpable recharging of a flow battery.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. It is alarming to see comparisons of the Chevrolet Volt PHEV with battery electric cars when the comparison focuses only on the electric range and ignores the other important differences. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference Nº 2.
