SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. The facility will process 42,000 tons of recycled waste annually.

CPKC orders 3.6MW of Ballard fuel cells for expansion of hydrogen locomotive program

Green Car Congress

Further development on range across temperature variations, heavy hauling, fine tuning auxiliary load to avoid waste, increased number of hours on current and additional units will support continued technological evolution. The conversion work will be done at CSX’s Huntington, West Virginia locomotive shop.

ETH Zurich catalyst can convert polypropylene directly into motor oil with high selectivity

Green Car Congress

The recycling of plastic waste plays a large conceptual role in the quesst for the realization of a circular economy. Polypropylene constitutes about 30% of all plastic waste. This suggests that the design of catalysts that can control the selectivity of this process is challenging. Shibashish D. Jaydev, Antonio J.

E-Waste is a Cybersecurity Problem, Too

Cars That Think

million metric tons of electronic waste in 2019, up more than 21% over five years, according to the United Nations’ most recent assessment. Only about 17% of that e-waste was recycled, and what happens to the rest can be detrimental for both human health and privacy. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

Carbon Recycling International and Johnson Matthey collaborate on sustainable methanol

Green Car Congress

This combined offering helps meet the urgent need to remove carbon emissions in hard-to-decarbonize sectors of the economy. This can be recovered from either industrial processes or biomass, such as waste and residues, or atmospheric sources. Conventional methanol production involves fossil feedstocks such as natural gas or coal.

VSPC boosts energy density of LFP cells up to 25% by incorporating manganese; LMFP

Green Car Congress

Due to its higher energy density, LMFP should reduce the range anxiety associated with standard LFP formulations designed for EVs. VSPC’s active program to reduce costs even further includes its evaluation of industrial waste materials as feed, as well as the production of cathode-material precursors derived from spent LIBs.
