New $30M ARPA-E program to produce renewable liquid fuels from renewable energy, air and water

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) announced up to $30 million in funding for a new program for technologies that use renewable energy to convert air and water into cost-competitive liquid fuels. ( kWh—the price needed to be competitive with other carbon-free delivery methods.

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

Green Car Congress

Berlin-based Graforce Hydro GmbH, the developer of a plasma electrolyzer—the Plasmalyzer —is applying its technology for the highly efficient generation of hydrogen from industrial waste water. The current Plasmalyzer offers highly efficient water splitting. Only purified water and oxygen remain as waste products.

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).

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. Iron and nickel are currently priced at $0.13 By contrast, ruthenium, platinum and iridium are priced at $11.77, $42.13

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

By using a water-lean post-combustion capture solvent, (N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine) (2-EEMPA), they achieved a greater than 90% conversion of captured CO 2 to hydrocarbons—mostly methane—in the presence of a heterogenous Ru catalyst under relatively mild reaction conditions (170 °C and 2 pressure).

Researchers increase carbon efficiency of BtL process from 38 to >90% by adding hydrogen from renewable sources; 2.4x more fuel produced

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Norway report that the carbon efficiency of a conventional Biomass-to-Liquid (BtL) process can be increased from 38 to more than 90% by adding hydrogen from renewable energy sources. With an electrical power price of 0.05?$/kWh kWh and with SOEC investment cost of the 1000?$/kW with the same amount of biomass.

2-Hydroxytetrahydropyran (2-HY-THP) is the key reaction pathway intermediate that allows for a decrease in the minimum selling price of 1,5-PD. The DHP is then hydrated to 2-HY-THP and 2-HY-THP dimers in yields up to 100 % in the aqueous phase (20 wt % DHP in water) without a catalyst at temperatures from 343 to 403 K (70 to 130 ˚C).
