SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

SGH2’s gasification process uses a plasma-enhanced thermal catalytic conversion process optimized with oxygen-enriched gas. The end result is high purity hydrogen and a small amount of biogenic carbon dioxide, which is not additive to greenhouse gas emissions. But, until now, it has been too expensive to adopt at scale.

Electrochemical Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production; 50% the CO2 and 25% the energy

Green Car Congress

In ammonia plants, hydrogen is generated by steam-methane reforming (SMR) and water-gas shift (WGS) and, subsequently, is purified for the high-pressure ammonia synthesis. Ammonia, produced via the Haber-Bosch (HB) process, is globally the leading chemical in energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
