German power-to-gas facility opens green methanation plant; €28M STORE&GO project

Green Car Congress

A methanation plant expansion to the existing power-to-gas (PtG) facility in Falkenhagen, Germany has officially opened as part of the international €28-million (US$33.5-million) million) STORE&GO research project. This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power.

billion to be split equally between the joint venture partners and funded from internal cash flows provided by DGD. Next, these fats are processed into renewable diesel by: Hydrotreating: Using high pressure hydrogen to remove the oxygen (which is converted to water). The current estimated construction cost is $1.45

EPFL team develops on-board system to capture CO2 from trucks; reducing emissions by 90%

Green Car Congress

First, the vehicle’s flue gases in the exhaust pipe are cooled down and the water is separated from the gases. That liquid is stored in a tank and can then be converted back into conventional fuel at the service stations using renewable electricity. In their study, the scientists used the example of a delivery truck.

Electric or hydrogen cars – which makes more sense for NZ?

Drive Electric

With a growing emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels, two promising technologies have emerged as potential alternatives to internal combustion engines (ICE): Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). Energy efficiency: FCEVs are more efficient than traditional combustion engines.

Additionally, expensive infrastructure with high investment costs is needed there to store large quantities of hydrogen. Additionally, large amounts of hydrogen have to be stored in pressurized form on site at the customer to compensate for fluctuations in consumption. OSOD H2 generator. 2019.01.257 (open access).
