LSBU researchers investigating metal hydride hydrogen storage for buses

Green Car Congress

Researchers from London South Bank University (LSBU), School of the Built Environment and Architecture, are investigating the use of metal hydrides to absorb, release and store hydrogen for fuel cell buses. Hydrogen is stored by reaction with a metal to form a hydride (exothermic reaction).

Study finds direct seawater splitting has substantial drawbacks to conventional water splitting, offers almost no advantage

Green Car Congress

To meet this challenge and to satisfy the constant energy demand of society, electricity must be stored in times of overproduction to provide energy when little sunshine and wind is available. To store the green electricity in a highly scalable way, it must be converted into chemical energy. Energy Environ.

Researchers demonstrate efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2+ alcohols

Green Car Congress

Here, we demonstrated a rational strategy to synthesize the Cu catalyst under a CO-rich environment to induce the growth of defect-rich sites that are best for the adsorption of CO. A and B) Cu-DS catalyst synthesized under a CO-rich environment favors high coverage of *CO intermediate and promotes alcohol production. (D

Uniper receives €2.375M funding notification for Krummhoern hydrogen storage pilot

Green Car Congress

Lower Saxony's Environment Minister Olaf Lies presented the funding notification of €2.375 million for Uniper’s planned hydrogen pilot project at the Krummhoern natural gas storage site. The advantage of hydrogen is that it can be stored. It has long been clear that the energy transition cannot be achieved with electrons alone.

Australian researchers develop new hybrid plasma electrocatalytic process to produce green ammonia

Green Car Congress

The new production method—demonstrated in a laboratory-based proof of concept—also has the potential to play a role in the global transition towards a hydrogen economy, in which ammonia is seen as a possible solution to the problem of storing and transporting hydrogen energy. doi: 10.1039/D0EE03769A.
