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

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method to convert captured CO 2 into methane, the primary component of natural gas. Different methods for converting CO 2 into methane have long been known. Using EEMPA instead reduces the energy needed to fuel such a reaction.

Swiss team develops effective and low-cost solar water-splitting device; 14.2% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency

Green Car Congress

As the V OC of the presented c-Si cells is only ∼600 mV, four cells need to be connected in series to achieve stable water splitting performance. We demonstrate in this study that, thanks to their high V OC , three series-connected SHJ cells can already stably drive the water splitting reaction at unprecedented SHE. Schüttauf et al.

MIT Researchers Identify New Low-Cost Water-Splitting Catalyst

Green Car Congress

Daniel Nocera and his associates have found another formulation, based on inexpensive and widely available materials, that can efficiently catalyze the splitting of water molecules using electricity. By doing so, he aims to imitate the process of photosynthesis, by which plants harvest sunlight and convert the energy into chemical form.

Raven SR & Hyzon Motors to build up to 100 waste-to-hydrogen hubs

Green Car Congress

As part of the agreement, Hyzon is acquiring a minority interest in Raven SR. At the hubs, which can be built at or near landfills, Raven SR will convert mixed and multiple organic wastes, including municipal solid waste, greenwaste, food waste, medical, paper, etc. Raven SR , a renewable fuels company, and Hyzon Motors Inc.,

Thai researchers find waste chicken fat a good low-cost feedstock for renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

In a study investigating the effect of the water and free fatty acid (FFA) content in waste chicken fat from poultry processing plants on the production of renewable diesel (not biodiesel), researchers in Thailand have found that both higher FFA and water content improved the biohydrogenated diesel (BHD) yield. 1, a water content 0?4

Green Car Congress

Chile has set itself ambitious targets as part of its National Green Hydrogen Strategy. neutral fuel using low-cost green wind power. In the first step, electrolyzers split water into oxygen and green hydrogen using wind power. It plans an electrolyzer capacity of 5 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, rising to 25 GW by 2030.

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding $35 million to 11 projects as part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s (ARPA-E) Submarine Hydrokinetic And Riverine Kilo-megawatt Systems (SHARKS) program. The project aims to demonstrate a significant step-change up in efficiency with a step-change down in cost of energy.
