Phil Ansell, an aerospace engineer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, modeled the life cycle carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of liquid hydrogen production required to meet the fuel needs of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) with today’s electric grid mix. Ansell presented his findings at AIAA Aviation 2023 in June.

In the future, 100% of additional purchased electricity will come from verifiable renewable sources, such as wind- and hydropower. The production hall uses renewable energy and reduces water consumption and waste significantly. This corresponds to about three quarters of the required electricity in the German plants.

The committee was formed last year to coordinate the organization’s response to the global crisis. About one-third of emissions globally are produced through electricity generation, and Rahman said his mission is to help reduce that amount through engineering solutions. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.

is creating a streamlined manufacturing process for silicon solar photovoltaic cells that requires only 10% of the silicon, half of the operating and equipment cost, and a quarter of the energy of incumbent technology, enabling sustainable solar manufacturing that will combat climate change by meeting global demand for solar.
