Heliogen and Bloom Energy demonstrate production of low-cost green hydrogen; concentrated solar and high-temp electrolysis

Green Car Congress

Heliogen’s concentrated solar technology is different than traditional photovoltaic solar; it facilitates hydrogen generation for longer periods of time, operating near 24/7 by storing the solar energy, resulting in more compact and lower cost production.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

Earlier this year, PNNL researchers revealed that using EEMPA in power plants could slash the price of carbon capture to 19% lower than standard industry costs—the lowest documented price of carbon capture. The authors’ assessment identified further cost savings, in that CO 2 captured by EEMPA can be converted to methane on site.

Fraunhofer researchers develop new low-cost dry-film electrode production process

Green Car Congress

The Finnish battery company BroadBit Batteries, together with IWS, has commissioned a pilot plant in its Espoo factory, which coats electrodes with dry electrode material instead of wet pastes, as has been common in industry up to now. The Dresden engineers now aim at enhancing their technology in cooperation with industrial partners.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

Quinones are naturally abundant, inexpensive, small organic molecules, and similar to molecules that store energy in plants and animals. The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable. Background.

SwRI, UTSA researchers show biochar is low-cost, effective method to treat fracking water

Green Car Congress

Flowback water treatment is a critical sustainability issue for the oil and gas industry. Once the water is used, the flowback, or wastewater, must be treated to remove hazardous chemicals before it is stored, reused or disposed, which can be a costly endeavor. —Zhigang Feng, USTA.
