ARENA awards A$22.1M to 16 projects to accelerate exporting renewable hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Renewable or green hydrogen involves producing hydrogen from renewable sources for example via electrolyzers powered by solar and wind. Earlier this month, ARENA also released a report that identified opportunities for Australia to export hydrogen as global demand for hydrogen increases in the next decade.

Our principal goal should be to mitigate problems that are global in scale, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, virus transmission, and invasive species. Decarbonization will take decades, and in the case of large-scale installations like wind farms and solar farms, we will see NIMBY-style (Not In My Back Yard) opposition to siting.

CPT presenting two papers at SAE World Congress on SpeedStart and TIGERS for 48V mild hybrid systems

Green Car Congress

Potentially this low-voltage technology combination could be applied to something approaching 50 million vehicles per year, CPT said. The successful application of the technologies would allow a global vehicle manufacturer to reduce its in-use carbon footprint of a typical vehicle by 50g/km—a 30% reduction on today’s baseline.

ARPA-E Selects 37 Projects for $106M in Funding in Second Round; Electrofuels, Better Batteries and Carbon Capture

Green Car Congress

The team anticipates at least a twofold productivity improvement over current levels and a cost that can be competitive with gasoline. The project also includes a proprietary process to convert waste biomass into carbon dioxide and hydrogen to feed the bioreactor, allowing butanol production from waste feedstocks.
