Hydrexia and HyGear partner on low-cost hydrogen distribution in Europe; solid state storage and delivery

Green Car Congress

Hydrexia says that the solid-state trailers are about half the capital cost ($/kg-H 2 ) of conventional bulk tube trailers and can reduce the total cost of hydrogen delivery by 30-40%. By re-using the waste gases and waste heat of the process, the energy efficiency of the Hy.GEN is optimized.

DOE to Award Up to $27M in Phase III Small Business Awards; Algae Processing, Fuel Cells, Improved Materials for Motors, Synthetic Fuels Among Areas of Interest

Green Car Congress

Specifically, low cost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.
