PNNL-led team designs highly active cobalt-based PGM-free catalyst for fuel cells

Green Car Congress

The new catalyst contains cobalt interspersed with nitrogen and carbon. The development of catalysts free of platinum-group metals and with both a high activity and durability for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells is a grand challenge. The Co–N–C catalyst achieved a current density of 0.022?A?cm

HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded HyMethShip project developed a system that innovatively combined a membrane reactor, a CO 2 capture system, a storage system for CO 2 and methanol as well as a hydrogen-fueled combustion engine to power ships. The remaining carbon dioxide is stored in the tank and reused in onshore methanol production. © Fraunhofer.

Keliber says studies show its lithium hydroxide will have smaller carbon footprint than most of the competition

Green Car Congress

Based on the work, Keliber’s lithium hydroxide will have a smaller carbon footprint than most of the competitors’ products. The two production routes that show the greatest emissions intensity represent well over half of the current global production of lithium carbonate and hydroxide. Keliber plans to begin production in 2024.
