Alstom to supply Italy’s first hydrogen trains

Green Car Congress

Alstom will supply six hydrogen fuel cell trains, with the option for eight more, to FNM (Ferrovie Nord Milano), the main transport and mobility group in the Italian region of Lombardy, for a total amount of approximately €160 million. The hydrogen version will match the operational performance of diesel trains, including their range.

SOLAR-JET project demonstrates solar-driven thermochemical conversion of CO2 and water to jet fuel

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded SOLAR-JET project has demonstrated the production of aviation kerosene from concentrated sunlight, CO 2 captured from air, and water. The H 2 :CO molar ratio of the syngas can be controlled in a range from 0.25 Red arrow indicates ceria reduction (oxygen evolution); blue arrow indicates oxidation (fuel production).

ENEOS begins joint study with Origin on Japan-Australia green hydrogen supply chain; MCH as transport medium

Green Car Congress

ENEOS Corporation and Origin Energy signed a memorandum of understanding to conduct a study on a potential business collaboration for the development of a CO 2 -free hydrogen supply chain between Japan and Australia. Specifically, Origin will focus on use of renewable energy supply and water electrolysis cells for hydrogen production.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

By using a water-lean post-combustion capture solvent, (N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine) (2-EEMPA), they achieved a greater than 90% conversion of captured CO 2 to hydrocarbons—mostly methane—in the presence of a heterogenous Ru catalyst under relatively mild reaction conditions (170 °C and 2 pressure).

STEAG and thyssenkrupp planning joint green hydrogen project

Green Car Congress

In the next few years, the company expects the conversion of one blast furnace to result in an annual demand of around 20,000 tonnes of green hydrogen. This demand will increase to some 720,000 tonnes per year by 2050 as a result of the gradual conversion of the plants and equipment. It is important to plan ahead.

Fraunhofer suggests e-scooters as application for its magnesium hydride paste hydrogen storage technology

Green Car Congress

Fraunhofer’s POWERPASTE releases hydrogen on contact with water. Specific energies and energy densities including conversion losses. POWERPASTE (left); POWERPASTE cartridge (middle); portable 100 W power supply unit (right). Only half of the hydrogen originates from the POWERPASTE; the rest comes from the added water.
