Molten Salt Gasification Process. Western Hydrogen Limited reported first production of hydrogen from its Molten Salt Gasification (MSG) pilot plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. The MSG process occurs in a single high-pressure reactor in which a carbon-based feedstock and water react with a molten salt bath.

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) will award $38 million to 12 projects that will work to reduce the impacts of light-water reactor used nuclear fuel (UNF) disposal. Most of the nation’s used fuel is stored at more than 70 reactor sites across the country. Earlier post.)

GE will invest an additional $70 million to expand its sodium-halide battery manufacturing plant in New York, which is part of the company’s new Energy Storage business. The batteries thus are produced using abundantly available raw materials such as salt and nickel and are non-toxic and fully recyclable.

We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Technologies include energy storage with molten salt and liquid air or cryogenic storage.

Many recent research and development efforts for cellulosic biofuels have explored a two-step bioconversion process involving: 1) liberation of fermentable sugars from lignocellulose; and 2) conversion of sugars into fuels and/or chemicals by fermentation. The use of ionic liquids (molten salts with melting points.
