Study suggests new strategy for storing hydrogen, using natural gas as stabilizer

Green Car Congress

A recent study has suggested a new strategy for storing hydrogen, using natural gas as a stabilizer. The research proposed a practical gas phase modulator based synthesis of a hydrogen-natural gas blend (HNGB) without generating chemical waste after dissociation for the immediate service.

Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

Climeworks’ new facility in Iceland transports the CO 2 filtered out of the air below the Earth’s surface, where natural processes then mineralize it. C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. The water returns to the cycle of the geothermal power plant.
