IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

A new approach developed by researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria and international colleagues proposes using solid air (nitrogen or oxygen) as a medium for recycling cooling energy across the hydrogen liquefaction supply chain. The hydrogen is liquefied where electricity is cheap.

War in Ukraine: We Need to Talk About Fossil Fuels

Cars That Think

This war will have many long-term consequences, but possibly none more important than its effects on the future of the European energy supply. Russia might even become, miraculously and temporarily, less intransigent, and Europe might then welcome status quo ante. But Russia now has a huge ally in the world’s largest economy, China.

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

Green Car Congress

SGH2’s gasification process uses a plasma-enhanced thermal catalytic conversion process optimized with oxygen-enriched gas. The end result is high purity hydrogen and a small amount of biogenic carbon dioxide, which is not additive to greenhouse gas emissions. The facility will process 42,000 tons of recycled waste annually.

UK power crisis – entirely the fault of regulators and ministers

EV Info

Slashing gas storage facilities. Additional fees and charges added to electricity prices. On a good or windy day these produce around 20% of the UK electricity needs. Solar also generates a good share of the power generated when the sun shines. As this shows we are reliant of Gas for 50% of our electricity generation.
