Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

Greener Steel Production Requires More Electrochemical Engineers

Cars That Think

Electrochemistry can help save the planet As the world embraces clean energy solutions such as wind turbines, electric vehicles, and solar panels to address the climate crisis, changing how we approach manufacturing becomes critical. The conversion is an essential step in steel production and the most emissions-spewing part.

SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

It also solves our plastics and waste problems by turning them into green hydrogen, and does it cleaner and at costs far lower than any other green hydrogen producer. It does not depend on particular weather conditions, and does not require as much land as solar- and wind-based projects. —Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

The company is building a new plant in Nevada, and aims to be processing 10,000 tons of black mass (equivalent to about 150,000 EV battery packs) annually by 2025. Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective. Other batteries are coming from battery energy storage systems.
