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

Green Car Congress

As part of the FUREC project, RWE plans to build a pre-treatment plant in Zevenellen, Limburg, to convert non-recyclable municipal solid waste (MSW) into solid recovered fuel pellets. 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.

HydroWing, Tocardo partner on production of hydrogen from tidal power

Green Car Congress

THyPSO is a floating platform, housing 1 – 6 conventional bi-directional tidal turbines that convert tidal flows into electrical energy, which is then directed through an integrated hydrogen production unit, converting the unlimited supply of surrounding seawater into hydrogen.

DOE awarding $3.0M cost-share contract to FuelCell Energy for solid oxide electrolyzer; converting excess electricity to H2

Green Car Congress

is developing a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) system to convert excess electricity during periods of low power demand into hydrogen efficiently. Annual global energy storage deployments are projected to increase to approximately 7 to 9 gigawatts by 2020 with continued increases thereafter. FuelCell Energy, Inc.

TU Wien researchers develop neural hardware for image recognition in nanoseconds

Green Car Congress

Usually, visual information is captured by a frame-based camera, converted into a digital format and processed afterwards using a machine-learning algorithm such as an artificial neural network (ANN). Nerve cells connect to many other nerve cells. 2020) “Ultrafast machine vision with 2D material neural network image sensors.”

KIST team develops membrane reactor system to produce pure H2 from ammonia with high productivity

Green Car Congress

This has resulted in a growing demand for a technology that can convert surplus renewable energy into hydrogen and transport the hydrogen to the target destination for utilization. Hydrogen gas, however, cannot be transported in large amounts due to the limitations in the amount that can be stored per unit volume. 2020.118483.

HVDC Networks Come to Europe

Cars That Think

But what’s most interesting about the mammoth, £580 million project isn’t so much the turbines as the subsea transmission link that will connect the wind farm to the Scottish mainland. Elias Stein The key advance was the implementation of voltage-source converters (VSCs). An inverter there can feed into the mainland AC grid.
