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.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

DLR team integrates solar heat into solid oxide electrolyzer for highly efficient hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

A team at Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) has successfully integrated solar heat into a solid oxide electrolyzer. The experimental setup of the prototype system consisted of a solar simulator, a solar steam generator, a steam accumulator and a solid oxide electrolyzer. Schiller et al. A small fraction (0.58

New UK energy strategy pushes new nuclear; up to 8 additional reactors

Green Car Congress

The government will also launch the £120-million (US$156-million) Future Nuclear Enabling Fund this month. It has been designed to use less uranium and produce almost a third less long-lived radioactive wastes compared with water reactors in operation today. The UK EPR design also marks significant progress towards sustainability.

Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

Anthropogenic climate change confronts humanity with a challenge: How can we keep warm now as we try to prevent our world from overheating in the future? The electrical grid also supports the efficient distribution of power and makes use of energy generated through renewable means like wind and solar.

Fraunhofer and Univ. of British Columbia to partner on sustainable energy production; wind, fuel cells, biomass

Green Car Congress

Using the surplus electricity from wind or solar power plants to generate hydrogen is a possible option for energy storage. An additional subproject investigates the recycling of the hydrogen in the production of solar cells. Wind is a significant component of the energy mix of the future.
