Emerson and BayoTech partner to scale production and distribution of low-cost, modular SMRs for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Bayotech said it created the above chart based on California Air Resources Board (ARB) methodology. BayoGaaS, BayoTech’s gas-as-a-service option, provides customers with low-cost hydrogen on demand. Accounting for the carbon intensity for the entire value chain delivers a very different picture, according to Bayotech.

Researchers use sodium to deliver low-cost MgSi alloys for solid-state hydrogen storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Queensland have show that a low-cost Mg-based hydrogen storage alloy is possible with only 1 wt% Si. Mg 2 Si is a promising catalyst for Mg-based hydrogen storage materials due to its low cost, light weight, and non-toxic properties. A high hydrogen capacity of 6.72 —Tan et al.

Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely. Haiyan Mao, a UC Berkeley postdoctoral fellow who is first author of the paper, said that melamine-based materials use much cheaper ingredients, are easier to make and are more energy efficient than most MOFs.
