US-based Raven SR to build waste-to-hydrogen project in Spain

Green Car Congress

Raven SR, a US-based renewable fuels company ( earlier post ), plans to build a waste-to-hydrogen production facility in Aragón, Spain, following the opening of its subsidiary Raven SR Iberia in Zaragoza, announced earlier this month. Raven can also control the temperature gradient along the axis of the rotary reformer from 300 °F (149 ?C)

Spanish team develops microwave-induced electrolysis at low temperatures for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Spain have developed hydrogen production without contact electrodes via water electrolysis mediated by the microwave-triggered redox activation of solid-state ionic materials at low temperatures ( Nature Energy. In thermochemical cycles, the highly energy-demanding splitting of water molecules (?H Serra et al.

Rheinmetall wins new order worth around €300M for exhaust gas recirculation modules

Green Car Congress

In the low-pressure loop, these are water-cooled poppet valves. The systems consist of an aluminum housing and a bypass with a fully integrated water-cooling circuit. Part of the actuators will be produced at the Pierburg plant in Abadiano, Spain, with the company’s Berlin plant supplying the electric bypass actuators.

All-in-one solar-powered tower makes carbon-neutral kerosene in the field at pilot-scale

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Europe led by a team from ETH Zurich have designed a fuel production system that uses water, CO 2 , and sunlight to produce aviation fuel. We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain from water and CO 2 to kerosene in a fully-integrated solar tower system. Zoller et al. Zoller et al.

PEUGEOT estimates it will assemble up to 10,000 batteries per month for cars, 7,000 for LCVs by next year

Green Car Congress

A proper seal will prevent water or dirt from getting inside the battery cells and compromising its lifecycle or performance. The dedicated battery assembly workshops are in five plants of the Stellantis Group: Vigo & Saragossa (Spain), Trnava (Slovakia), Sochaux & Mulhouse (France) and soon Hordain (France).

Synhelion raises CHF 22M (US$23.6M) to support scaling of solar fuel production

Green Car Congress

The thermochemical splitting of CO 2 and water in a two-step redox reaction yields carbon-neutral fuels. The thermochemical reaction to turn CO 2 and water into syngas takes place at 1,500 °C. Solar heat is used to convert a mixture of methane, CO 2 , and water into syngas, which is then processed into any type of fuel.

New catalysts enable photocatalytic version of water gas shift reaction for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) have found that noble metal nanoparticles supported on titanium dioxide or cerium dioxide can catalyze the industrially important water gas shift (WGS) reaction for hydrogen production at ambient temperatures using visible light irradiation. Researchers at the Univ. —Sastre et al. Energy Environ.
