FortisBC, Suncor, Hazer to pilot methane pyrolysis for hydrogen production with graphite byproduct

Green Car Congress

Suncor Energy and Australia-based Hazer Group Limited will use Hazer’s innovative methane pyrolysis technology for the first time in North America to produce hydrogen from natural gas. The Fund supports projects that can advance innovative solutions for industry greenhouse gas emissions, like renewable and low carbon gases.

“Project Volt Gas Volt” proposes long-term financing plan to support widespread implementation of power-to-gas systems

Green Car Congress

Project Volt Gas Volt is based on a long-term financing plan and the use of existing technologies for the large-scale conversion of surplus renewable electricity to methane, with subsequent reuse. The concept is the same embodied in Audi’s e-gas project ( earlier post ), to which the VGV proposal makes continued reference.

E3 study finds low-carbon gas fuels option for meeting Calif GHG reduction goals

Green Car Congress

A new study by Energy Environmental Economics (E3) consulting suggests that low-carbon gas fuels are a viable option for meeting California’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and can simultaneously help achieve pollution emission reduction targets. —Rodger Schwecke, vice president of customer solutions for SoCalGas.

“Charging Station” — Is That the Location or the “Charger”?

EV Adoption

This requires simple, easy-to-understand terms without jargon, and that leverage consumer’s existing reference point of the gasoline refueling experience. In an ensuing discussion around this “charging station” reference it wasn’t clear what the author meant. 39% assumed charging station refers to the site/location and 43.2%

JEC updates well-to-wheels study on automotive fuels and powertrains; electro-mobility, natural gas and biofuels

Green Car Congress

It also introduces an update of natural gas pathways, taking into account the addition of a European shale gas pathway. The report aims to establish a consensual well-to-wheels (WTW) energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment of a wide range of automotive fuels and powertrains relevant to Europe in 2020 and beyond.

New composite reduces rare earth element usage in three-way catalytic converters

Green Car Congress

Ce is an essential element in oxygen-storage materials that reversibly stores and releases large amounts of oxygen depending upon the partial oxygen pressure in the gas phase. For this experiment, Pd/A 2 O 3 was used as the reference against the CeO 2 /MnFeO y experimental catalyst. —Machida et al. Click to enlarge.

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

In the figure "ton" refers to metric tonne and CNT, carbon nanotube. The focus of their study was the theoretical calculations of greenhouse gas CO 2 reductions using CNT composite structural materials when formed with CNTs made from CO 2 , rather than conventional high-CO 2 -emissive production techniques such as CVD.
