Study finds GWP of electrolyzed hydrogen to meet ORD’s fuel needs would be 2.5x that of fossil fuels with 2020 grid mix

Green Car Congress

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. Or is it better to liquefy it on site at the airport?

German power-to-gas facility opens green methanation plant; €28M STORE&GO project

Green Car Congress

A methanation plant expansion to the existing power-to-gas (PtG) facility in Falkenhagen, Germany has officially opened as part of the international €28-million (US$33.5-million) While the current facility feeds pure hydrogen (“WindGas”) directly into the gas grid, the new methanation plant provides for the generation of “green” methane.

New E3SM exascale modeling system for earth simulation released to scientific community

Green Car Congress

The high-resolution E3SM earth system model simulates the strongest storms with surface winds exceeding 150 mph—hurricanes that leave cold wakes that are 2 to 4 degrees Celsius cooler than their surroundings. The E3SM project is positioned on the forefront of this research challenge, acting on behalf of an international ESM effort.

Sandia study finds underground geologic storage of hydrogen could boost transportation, energy security

Green Car Congress

The main findings of the economic analysis, published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy , show that geologic limitations rather than city demand cause a larger disparity between costs from one city to the next. Such storage options, Dedrick said, are needed to realize the full potential of hydrogen for transportation.

IEEE Discusses 6 Simple Solutions to Climate Change at COP27

Cars That Think

At COP27, he said that even though the first legally binding international treaty on climate change, known as the Paris Agreement , was adopted nearly a decade ago, countries have yet to come to a consensus on how to stop burning fossil fuels, among other issues. We don’t have enough solar energy and wind energy.”
