Alfa Laval introduces E-PowerPack ORC waste heat recovery system for ships

Green Car Congress

Able to convert waste heat directly into electrical power, the E-PowerPack uses Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology to reduce ship fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. Where heat pumps use electrical power to create thermal energy for various purposes, an ORC system uses heat energy to generate electricity. Basic ORC concept.

Monash study on solar-driven electrolysis for green hydrogen production cautions on life-cycle emissions and EROI

Green Car Congress

An important consideration of solar-electrolysis in the context of climate mitigation is the enormity of upscaling required—both at the global scale with respect to the investment, land area, materials, and embodied energy; and at the project scale with respect to the potential localised impacts of gigawatt scale plants.
