Baker Institute-led group to develop nationwide protocol for paying ranchers and farmers to store carbon

Green Car Congress

Rice’s Baker Institute for Public Policy has initiated a working group to develop a United States protocol for paying ranchers and farmers to store carbon in their soil. These standards impose significant and unnecessary impediments to US landowners, so few or no transactions actually happen, Blackburn said. —Kenneth Medlock.

Daimler releases ‘open source’ hydrogen fueling standard for heavy trucks

Baua Electric

Engineers from both Daimler and Linde have co-developed sLH2, a new process for handling and storing sub-cooled liquid hydrogen – an approach that allows for a higher hydrogen storage density, faster refueling, and superior energy efficiency than gaseous hydrogen. The best part? What happens next is anyone’s guess.

Swiss team develops effective and low-cost solar water-splitting device; 14.2% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency

Green Car Congress

As the V OC of the presented c-Si cells is only ∼600 mV, four cells need to be connected in series to achieve stable water splitting performance. We demonstrate in this study that, thanks to their high V OC , three series-connected SHJ cells can already stably drive the water splitting reaction at unprecedented SHE. Schüttauf et al.

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

Green Car Congress

By using a water-lean post-combustion capture solvent, (N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine) (2-EEMPA), they achieved a greater than 90% conversion of captured CO 2 to hydrocarbons—mostly methane—in the presence of a heterogenous Ru catalyst under relatively mild reaction conditions (170 °C and 2 pressure).
