BNEF: steel industry set to pivot to hydrogen in green push; additional $278B for clean capacity and retrofits

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen and recycling are likely to play a central role in reducing emissions from steel production. By 2050, green hydrogen could be the cheapest production method for steel and capture 31% of the market. Converting a significant portion of the fleet to hydrogen would require more DRI plants and more electric furnaces.

OSU, Ford study provides insight into more efficient use of Rhodium in TWC applications

Green Car Congress

Although there are various types, modern catalytic converters use a combination of three precious metals—palladium, platinum and rhodium—to reduce nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) emissions. This in-depth understanding of the device’s structure could also help inform better designs for future catalytic converters.

Anglo American Platinum invests in Hydrogenious Technologies; liquid organic hydrogen carrier technology for H2 storage

Green Car Congress

Concept of hydrogen generation, storage and release using LOHCs. Hydrogenious Technologies is a spin-off from the University of Erlangen- Nuremberg (Germany), which also holds a stake in the company, and the Bavarian Hydrogen Center. The hydrogen can be released and converted back into electricity in a fuel cell when required.
