SwRI, UTSA researchers show biochar is low-cost, effective method to treat fracking water

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) have determined that biochar, a substance produced from plant matter, is a safe, effective and inexpensive method to treat flowback water following hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. —Maoqi Feng, SwRI.

KIST team develops membrane reactor system to produce pure H2 from ammonia with high productivity

Green Car Congress

Steam is adopted as a sweep gas, presenting efficient H 2 recovery (>91%) while replacing conventionally utilized noble carrier gases that require additional gas separation processes. Hydrogen gas, however, cannot be transported in large amounts due to the limitations in the amount that can be stored per unit volume.

Hydrexia and HyGear partner on low-cost hydrogen distribution in Europe; solid state storage and delivery

Green Car Congress

The trailer design can deliver up to 900 kg of H 2 —more than three times the capacity of a standard bulk tube trailer used by industrial gas companies today. At the filling station, the trailer is filled with hydrogen at low pressure (up to 10 bar). No external fuel gases are needed for the reform reaction and steam generation.

HZB, 3M team explores water management in PFIA membranes for fuel cells; better performance at higher temps and low humidity

Green Car Congress

A core component of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is the membrane, which allows protons to diffuse selectively towards the cathode while blocking the oxygen and hydrogen gas. 3M Company’s Fuel Cell Components Group recently developed a different low-cost proton exchange membrane material: perfluoroimide acid (PFIA).

Gigastack renewable hydrogen from offshore wind project advances to next phase; 100MW electrolyzer system

Green Car Congress

The Gigastack project, led by ITM Power, Ørsted, Phillips 66 Limited and Element Energy, will show how renewable hydrogen derived from offshore wind can support the UK’s 2050 net-zero greenhouse gas emission target. from an offshore wind farm—the process of producing hydrogen from water (electrolysis) can be decarbonized.

NSF/DOE partnership to award up to $18M for H2 production via advanced solar water-splitting technologies; separate DOE solicitation

Green Car Congress

A key benefit of this joint effort is the direct coordination of NSF-funded use-inspired basic research and EERE-funded applied R&D toward the development of cost-effective large-scale systems for the low-carbon production of hydrogen through advanced solar water-splitting technologies.

Volkswagen introduces new Coasting 2.0 micro hybrid system and new natural gas engine at Vienna Motor Symposium

Green Car Congress

At the 38 th Vienna Motor Symposium Volkswagen is introducing a new, more fuel-efficient “Coasting - Engine off” micro hybrid system—which shuts off the engine completely—as well as a new, compact three-cylinder natural gas engine for the Polo. —Friedrich Eichler, Head of Volkswagen Powertrain Development.
