Ontario researchers develop new water plasmolysis method for production of hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology are developing a new method to dissociate water vapor into hydrogen gas by microwave-generated plasma (plasmolysis). The generation of pure hydrogen gas requires a great deal of energy. The high energetic electrons produced by electric field acceleration of 2.45?GHz

BNEF report finds hydrogen promising decarbonization pathway, but carbon prices and emissions policies required

Green Car Congress

The falling cost of making hydrogen from wind and solar power offers a promising route to cutting emissions in some of the most fossil-fuel-dependent sectors of the economy, such as steel, heavy-duty vehicles, shipping and cement, according to a new report from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Abatement cost with hydrogen at $1/kg (7.4/MMBtu).

MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

The transportation sector was responsible for over 7 million tons of NO x emissions in the US in 2014, with 50% of this sector’s NO x attributed to heavy-duty on- and off-road vehicles and equipment. CO 2 and NO x certification test data for heavy-duty diesel engines certified from 2002 through 2019. Source of data: US EPA (2019).

ARPA-E to award $30M for next-gen storage to electrify aviation, rail and shipping: PROPEL-1K

Green Car Congress

Transportation is responsible for approximately 29% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually in the United States. Light duty vehicles—passenger and small commercial vehicles—account for 58% of transportation GHG emissions, and battery-powered electric vehicles have emerged as a lower-emissions solution for many applications.
