Raven SR & Hyzon Motors to build up to 100 waste-to-hydrogen hubs

Green Car Congress

This permits the control of the rotary reformer when there is water content or chemical makeup variation in the feedstock, such as in MSW. Our process eliminates waste from going into the landfill, and together with HYZON’s fleets will eliminate emissions pollution. C) at the front up to 1,200°F at the exit end.

EU research project IDEALFUEL seeks to develop marine low-sulfur heavy fuel oils from biomass; Bio-HFO

Green Car Congress

The use of heavy fuel oils (HFOs) contributes to global warming due to the fossil origin of these fuels and, moreover, generating non-negligible emissions of pollutants such as sulfur oxides. Although cleaner fuels are available, many companies opt for HFOs due to their low cost.

DOE awards $35M to 12 ARPA-E projects to reduce methane emissions; 5 on natural gas engines

Green Car Congress

The system will significantly increase methane conversion efficiency and comply with future stringent nitrous oxide regulations. The project team’s technology will consist of a novel methane oxidation catalyst (MOC) formulation capable of high conversion efficiencies at the lower exhaust temperatures in ultra-lean burn engines.

Alaska Native Corporation Proposes Underground Coal Gasification Project with Carbon Capture for Power Generation

Green Car Congress

In 2007, LLNL and BP signed a technical agreement to work cooperatively on the development of underground coal gasification (UCG) technology for the in-situ conversion of coal deposits into fuels and other products. LLNL has been working with UCG technology development and field deployment for more than 30 years. Earlier post.).
