US-based Raven SR to build waste-to-hydrogen project in Spain

Green Car Congress

Raven SR, a US-based renewable fuels company ( earlier post ), plans to build a waste-to-hydrogen production facility in Aragón, Spain, following the opening of its subsidiary Raven SR Iberia in Zaragoza, announced earlier this month. About 15% of feedstock is converted into a solid bio-carbon which can potentially be sold.

All-in-one solar-powered tower makes carbon-neutral kerosene in the field at pilot-scale

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Europe led by a team from ETH Zurich have designed a fuel production system that uses water, CO 2 , and sunlight to produce aviation fuel. We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain from water and CO 2 to kerosene in a fully-integrated solar tower system. Zoller et al. Zoller et al.

Biogas2PEM-FC project converts waste from olive oil production to electricity

Green Car Congress

An EU-funded project, Biogas2PEM-FC , has developed a system to convert the toxic waste from olive oil production into electricity. The project, coordinated by Nordic fuel cell technology company PowerCell , resulted in the building of a complete pilot plant on an olive farm in Andalucía, Spain. Idener, Spain. Leitat, Spain.

Neste to receive €88M from EU toward green hydrogen and carbon capture & storage at Porvoo; SHARC

Green Car Congress

The EU Innovation Fund will award a grant of €88 million to Neste’s green hydrogen and CO 2 capture & storage project, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the Porvoo refinery in Finland. SHARC will also scale the production of green hydrogen to help make it a viable transportation fuel itself.

New catalysts enable photocatalytic version of water gas shift reaction for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) have found that noble metal nanoparticles supported on titanium dioxide or cerium dioxide can catalyze the industrially important water gas shift (WGS) reaction for hydrogen production at ambient temperatures using visible light irradiation. Researchers at the Univ. —Sastre et al.

DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2

Green Car Congress

The European NEMESIS 2+ consortium has and successfully tested a pre-commercial on-site system for the production of hydrogen from diesel and biodiesel. kilograms of hydrogen from 20 liters of biodiesel per hour—this roughly corresponds to the fuel tank of a B-Class F-cell vehicle. per kilogram of hydrogen (US$6.53).

New catalytic system for conversion of CO2 to methanol shows much higher activity than others now in use

Green Car Congress

Scanning tunneling microscope image of a cerium-oxide and copper catalyst (CeO x -Cu) used in the transformation of CO 2 and H 2 to methanol (CH 3 OH) and water. In the presence of hydrogen, the Ce 4+ and Cu 1+ are reduced to Ce 3+ and Cu 0 with a change in the structure of the catalyst surface. Source: BNL. Click to enlarge.
