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

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. The facility will process 42,000 tons of recycled waste annually.

Space-based Solar Power: A Great Idea Whose Time May Never Come

Cars That Think

The scene: A space-based solar power station called the Converter being commissioned some time in the Future. The plot: The astronauts are training Cutie to take over the station’s operations, which involve collecting solar energy in space and then directing it as intense beams of microwaves down to Earth. For example, U.K.-based

A New Specialized Train Is Ready to Haul Nuclear Waste

Cars That Think

The result is Atlas, a multi-car system designed to move about 217 tonnes of SNF and high-level radioactive waste to future storage and disposal destinations. Engineers finished final testing on Atlas in September 2023 with a 2,700-kilometer trip from Colorado to Idaho. surpassing wind and solar to generate 18.6

Air France KLM signs 210M gallon SAF offtake agreement with DG Fuels

Green Car Congress

The feed-stock reduction is achieved primarily by supplementing the process with oxygen and hydrogen produced by water electrolysis units that are powered by clean wind and solar generated electricity. DGF replaces the coal gasification used by others with biomass gasification and natural gas reforming.

JRC study finds 8 metals for low-carbon energy technologies at risk of shortages; EVs, wind and solar, and lighting the applications of most concern

Green Car Congress

The applications, i.e. technologies, of particular concern as a result are electric vehicles, wind and solar energy, and lighting. Reuse/recycling and waste reduction. Significant improvements have already been made in the recycling of post-industrial waste streams such as magnet, semi-conductor and photovoltaic scrap.
