Danish team electrifies steam-methane reforming for greener approach to hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark and Haldor Topsoe, with colleagues from the Danish Technological Institute and Sintex have developed a “ disruptive approach to a fundamental process ” by integrating an electrically heated catalytic structure directly into a steam-methane–reforming (SMR) reactor for hydrogen production.

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

Going bi adds several nifty new benefits to driving electric. It turns an EV into a mobile battery that can be used to provide backup power to a home or business, and to provide services to the electrical grid, generating revenue for the vehicle owner and potentially offsetting a significant part of the purchase price of the vehicle.
