Kopernikus Project P2X integrated container-scale test facility produces first fuels from air-captured CO2 and green power

Green Car Congress

Dittmeyer suggests that is thus only reasonable to store unused green power in chemical energy carriers. 60% of the green power used can be stored in the fuel as chemical energy. Co-electrolysis has a high efficiency and theoretically binds in the synthesis gas 80% of the green energy used in chemical form.

Shell and Uniper to work together on blue hydrogen production facility in the UK

Green Car Congress

Blue hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced by the reformation of natural gas, with the CO 2 produced as a result of this process being captured and stored using CCS technology. Uniper plans to develop a hydrogen hub at its Killingholme site, with up to 720MW blue hydrogen production and up to 100MW green hydrogen production.

LOTTE, Sumitomo of Americas and Syzygy Plasmonics to partner on photocatalytic cracking of ammonia to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Plans include importing green ammonia that can be readily transported and stored before it is converted into clean hydrogen with expectations of generating 1.2 The Syzygy P-DA photoreactor has the potential to produce clean hydrogen from green ammonia and renewable electricity. It breaks ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen.

ARPA-E awards $38M to 12 projects leading used nuclear fuel recycling initiative

Green Car Congress

While used nuclear fuel, sometimes referred to as spent nuclear fuel, is created during the process of generating nuclear energy, clean energy generated from this fuel would be enough to power more than 70 million homes. Upon discharge from a nuclear reactor, the UNF is initially stored in steel-lined concrete pools surrounded by water.

Groupe PSA introduces new eVMP platform (Electric Vehicle Modular Platform) for C- and D-segment vehicles

Green Car Congress

These vehicles will benefit from this new reference platform, the eVMP. By storing 50 kWh per meter within the wheelbase, it will therefore be able to offer an all-electric range from 400 km to 650 km (WLTP cycle) depending on the body.

C-Zero raises $11.5M Series A to produce clean hydrogen from natural gas via methane pyrolysis

Green Car Congress

When renewable natural gas is used as the feedstock, C-Zero’s technology can even be carbon negative, effectively extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and permanently storing it in the form of high-density solid carbon.

BMW Group hosts first conference on Quantum Computing for Automotive Challenges

Green Car Congress

With the BMW Group Quantum Computing Challenge, we provided well-described industry reference problems representing the automotive industry. Thereby computational operations on information stored in different registers can be performed at the same time. Andre Luckow, Head of Innovations & Emerging Technologies at BMW Group IT.
