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

Green Car Congress

Our process eliminates waste from going into the landfill, and together with HYZON’s fleets will eliminate emissions pollution. Hyzon aims to be one of the first companies to supply our customers with a hydrogen fuel cell truck, including our own garbage trucks, at total cost of ownership (TCO) parity with diesel-powered commercial vehicles.

Ford Bronco Sport first to feature parts made of 100% recycled ocean plastic

Green Car Congress

Up to 13 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean each year, threatening marine life and polluting shorelines, according to Pew Charitable Trusts, a global nongovernmental organization. Those same qualities contribute to creating ghost nets, a fatal and growing threat to marine life.

Graforce plasma electrolysis for efficient generation of hydrogen from industrial waste water; partnering with Audi

Green Car Congress

The technology not only converts wastewater pollutants into valuable energy, but also reduces emissions (CO 2 , CO, HC) by 30 to 60 percent. The technology we’ve developed is capable of cleaning wastewater and producing a low-cost, low-emission fuel from it. Nitrogen oxide emissions are also reduced by up to 60%.

Chinese researchers develop new alloy for on-board hydrogen production for fuel cells

Green Car Congress

Al is a favored hydrogen generation material because of its relatively low cost, low density, and abundant geological reserves. In addition, the high cost of hydrogen transport is a key barrier to hydrogen utilization. Hydrolysis of active metals is a widely known hydrogen production approach. In 2015, Zhang et al.
