Port of Corpus Christi, Howard announce to convert Javelina refinery services facility to blue hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Javelina controls approximately sixty million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of hydrogen production through a combination of hydrogen entrained in the refineries’ waste gas that the facility processes, and hydrogen produced through a steam methane reformer process.

DOE awards $34M to 19 projects to advance clean hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) awarded nearly $34 million to 19 industry- and university-led research projects that will advance technology solutions to make clean hydrogen a more available and affordable fuel for electricity generation, industrial decarbonization, and transportation.

A closer look at why heat pumps are dominating EV HVAC systems

Charged EVs

Unfortunately, most vehicles of any kind have little or no insulation to prevent the gain or loss of heat from the cabin and, worse, the copious amounts of glass and metal comprising the vehicle body make an efficient collector (or radiator) of heat, bearing more than a passing resemblance to a solar thermal panel for heating water.

SCOPE Biofuels Project Releases Assessment on Environmental Effects of Biofuel Technologies

Green Car Congress

In general, biofuels made from organic waste are environmentally more benign than those from energy crops. However very few studies include water use impacts. Nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a potent greenhouse gas, is formed as a byproduct of bacterial processing of nitrogen in soils, sediments, and waters. Ravindranath et al.

JCESR team identifies new mechanism hampering Mg-ion batteries; unforeseen reactivity

Green Car Congress

If free-floating hydroxide ions—molecules containing a single oxygen atom bound to a hydrogen atom that can be formed as trace amounts of water react with the magnesium metal—meet these surface-bound molecules, they will react. This wastes electrolyte, drying out the battery over time.
