High-entropy oxide as high-activity electrocatalyst for water oxidation

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of Twente in The Netherlands have developed a new high-entropy perovskite oxide (HEO) as a high-activity electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER)—the key kinetically limiting half-reaction in several electrochemical energy conversion technologies, including green hydrogen generation.

Mathematically-designed graphene has improved electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

An international research group has improved graphene’s ability to catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction, which releases hydrogen as a result of passing an electronic current through water. The graphene-based electrocatalyst was then used to enhance the release of hydrogen during electrolysis. Wakisaka, Y.

Researchers develop large-scale, economical method to extract hydrogen from oil sands and oil fields

Green Car Congress

Canadian researchers have developed a large-scale economical method to extract hydrogen from oil sands (natural bitumen) and oil fields. This can be used to power hydrogen-powered vehicles, which are already marketed in some countries, as well as to generate electricity. Proton Technologies is commercializing the process.

EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded research project HyFlexFuel recently successfully produced biocrudes via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) from a variety of biomasses, including sewage sludge, food waste, manure, wheat straw, corn stover, pine sawdust, miscanthus and microalgae in a pilot-scale continuous HTL plant at Aarhus University (Denmark).

Germany awards G+L innotec funding for development of fuel cell technology using media gap motor: Project REZEBT

Green Car Congress

G+L innotec is now expanding to include hydrogen applications, thus spanning the arc to electric mobility. On the one hand, the MGM will serve as drive for the axial, diagonal or radial recirculation blower—depending on the design—in which hydrogen is hermetically encapsulated and transported without dynamic seals.

Successful demonstration of FlexMethanol conversion of wind power to methanol

Green Car Congress

In Germany, BSE Engineering and the Institute for Renewable Energy Systems at Stralsund University of Applied Sciences (IRES) have demonstrated the conversion of wind power into renewable methanol. The team uses green electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolysis step. FlexMethanol.
