Nanodiamonds enable efficient hydrogen purification

Green Car Congress

Graphene oxide (GO), a water-soluble derivative of graphite, can be assembled to form a membrane that can be used for hydrogen purification. When exposed to humidity, the negatively charged sheets repel each other even more, allowing water molecules to accumulate in the spaces between the GO sheets, which eventually dissolves the membrane.

Aker Clean Hydrogen and Kuehne+Nagel to accelerate green container shipping

Green Car Congress

The first vessels with engines that can run on these fuel alternatives are in production and expected to hit the waters in 2024. Aker Clean Hydrogen and Kuehne+Nagel are already in advanced discussions with container ship owners who share the ambition of fossil-free shipping and who want to convert to hydrogen, ammonia and methanol engines.

Norway-US Project Developing Diesel/Biodiesel, Cool Flame Reformer and Solid-Acid Fuel Cell APU

Green Car Congress

Norway’s Nordic Power Systems (NPS) and California-based SAFCell Inc., The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway under its RENERGI program. Unfavourable mixtures of liquid fuels, water and air lead to degradation by local hot spots in the sensitive catalysts and to formation of unwanted by-products in the reformer.

Researchers engineer E. Coli to produce ethanol directly from brown seaweed with yield equivalent to ~80% of the theoretical maximum

Green Car Congress

Macroalgae (seaweed) offers a number of attractive attributes as a feedstock for renewable fuels and chemicals (high sugar content, no requirements for arable land, fresh water, and fertilizer and no food vs. fuel issues. A pathway from Zymomonas mobilis turns that into ethanol. Earlier post.). Regitsky, Christine Nicole S. Santos, Peter B.
