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 CO 2 released during the hydrogen production is captured and can be stored or possibly used as a raw material by industry in the future.

Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. It took us a long time to get the data needed to let us connect to the grid. Maybe it’s just a pontoon bridge, but it’s definitely a bridge.

Volvo CE and Rolls-Royce develop wood-burning charger for off-grid EVs

Baua Electric

When work is being done off the grid in remote locations, it can be hard to keep construction equipment fueled up – regardless of whether that fuel is liquid or electric. A collaborative effort between Volvo CE , Rolls-Royce , and Air Burners, the BioCharger uses “air curtain technology” to burn wood and waste in a closed-loop system.

Leveraging Parking Lot Solar Panels for EV Charging

Clean Fleet Report

It’s possible to construct off-grid charging stations, but they come with hassles, such as storing power when the sun doesn’t shine. Connecting to the grid allows businesses to sell back unused capacity, saving money and preventing wasting energy when surpluses occur. Retrofitting Woes.
