EU Innovation Fund grants €108M to RWE’s waste-to-hydrogen project FUREC

Green Car Congress

RWE's FUREC project, which aims to produce circular and green hydrogen from non-recyclable municipal solid waste in Limburg, the Netherlands, received a €108-million grant from the EU’s Innovation Fund. The CO 2 released during the hydrogen production is captured and can be stored or possibly used as a raw material by industry in the future.

SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

Energy company SGH2 is bringing the world’s biggest green hydrogen production facility to Lancaster, California. In the gasification island’s catalyst-bed chamber, plasma torches generate such high temperatures (3500 ºC - 4000 ºC), that the waste feedstock disintegrates into its molecular compounds, without combustion ash or toxic fly ash.
