Heliogen and Bloom Energy demonstrate production of low-cost green hydrogen; concentrated solar and high-temp electrolysis

Green Car Congress

Heliogen and Bloom Energy have successfully demonstrated the production of green hydrogen by integrating the companies’ technologies: Heliogen’s concentrated solar energy system and the Bloom Electrolyzer. Electricity accounts for nearly 80% of the cost of hydrogen from electrolysis. Source: Heliogen. Source: Heliogen.

Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely. Haiyan Mao et al.

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. But these traditional solvents have relatively high water content, making methane conversion difficult. Heldebrant, D., Kothandaraman, J., Lopez, J.S.,

Researchers in Australia develop low-cost water-splitting catalyst that offers comparable performance to platinum

Green Car Congress

Iron and nickel, which are found in abundance on Earth, would replace precious metals ruthenium, platinum and iridium that up until now are regarded as benchmark catalysts in the water-splitting process. —Suryanto et al. —Prof Zhao. Iron and nickel are currently priced at $0.13 and $19.65 a kilogram. and $69.58 Suryanto et al.
