Successful demonstration of FlexMethanol conversion of wind power to methanol

Green Car Congress

In Germany, BSE Engineering and the Institute for Renewable Energy Systems at Stralsund University of Applied Sciences (IRES) have demonstrated the conversion of wind power into renewable methanol. Operation of this technology under dynamic conditions will be confirmed during a year-long test. FlexMethanol.

New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

The electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 using renewable energy could establish a climate-neutral, artificial carbon cycle. Excess energy produced by photovoltaics and wind energy could be stored through the electrocatalytic production of fuels from CO 2. These could then be burned as needed.

Ørsted proposes to develop one of the world’s largest renewable hydrogen plants: SeaH2Land

Green Car Congress

Ørsted, the world’s leading offshore wind developer, together with the major industrial companies in the North Sea Port cluster, have launched the SeaH2Land vision for a gigawatt scale project to reduce carbon emissions in the Dutch-Flemish industrial cluster with renewable hydrogen.

ULEMCo delivers water tanker converted to use hydrogen dual fuel

Green Car Congress

tonne bowser has been converted from a standard truck to use hydrogen dual fuel, an approach that allows fleet managers to transition more quickly to low carbon operation. The benefit is further enhanced by the vehicle refueling from an ITM hydrogen fuelling station in Sheffield that is powered directly from renewable wind.

PCC SE and Landsvirkjun to convert silicon metal plant CO2 emissions to methanol

Green Car Congress

The production of green methanol requires a renewable carbon source from PCC’s silicon metal plant in Iceland and renewable power from Landsvirkjun´s power stations. PCC SE aims for its silicon metal plant at Húsavík to become carbon-neutral by replacing fossil carbon reductants in production with renewable alternatives.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. As we move to more and more renewable penetration, this intermittency will make a greater impact on the electric power system. —Emre Gençer, co-author. —Drake Hernandez.
