Honeywell and ZoneFlow Reactor Technology to collaborate on more efficient SMR for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

This technology promises to provide a step-change improvement in the efficiency and carbon intensity of steam methane reforming for the production of hydrogen. This results in improved heat transfer between the process gas and the tube wall. Minette et al. Juray De Wilde (Materials and Process Engineering Dept.,

Argonne study shows range of GHG reductions for electrofuel Fischer-Tropsch; up to 108% reduction

Green Car Congress

A team at Argonne National Laboratory’s Systems Assessment Center has evaluated the well-to-wheel (WTW) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Fischer–Tropsch (FT) fuels produced via various electrolytic H 2 pathways and CO 2 sources; using various process designs (i.e., —Zang et al. 0c05893.

Study finds autothermal reforming with WGS reactor preferred option for on-board reforming of biodiesel and bioethanol

Green Car Congress

A study by a team at the German Aerospace Center (Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR) identified autothermal reforming in combination with a water gas shift reactor as the preferred option for on-board reforming of biodiesel and bioethanol into a hydrogen-rich gas suitable for high temperature PEM (HTPEM) fuel cells.

DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. This work will focus on designing a carbon capture system capable of capturing 50 to 70 percent of CO 2 emissions from blast furnace gas. LH CO 2 MENT Colorado Project.

NREL report estimates gasoline produced from biomass could cost about the same as ethanol

Green Car Congress

The basis for this study was a stand-alone gasification/synthesis process including sub-processes or unit operations for integrated tar reforming, acid gas scrubbing, and synthesis to methanol followed by conversion to gasoline. Gas Cleanup & Conditioning. Cyclones at the exit of the gasifier separate the char and sand from the syngas.

Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

Fusion offers the prospect of a nearly limitless source of energy with no greenhouse gas emissions. Physics laboratories and even a few individuals have successfully fused the nuclei of hydrogen, liberating energy. According to the lab’s lore, Spitzer came up with the idea while riding a ski lift at Aspen Mountain in 1951.
