Researchers use chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen sulfide is emitted from manure piles and sewer pipes and is a key byproduct of industrial activities including refining oil and gas, producing paper and mining. The process uses relatively little energy and a relatively cheap material—iron sulfide with a trace amount of molybdenum as an additive.

BNEF: steel industry set to pivot to hydrogen in green push; additional $278B for clean capacity and retrofits

Green Car Congress

Steel is responsible for around 7% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions every year and is one of the world’s most polluting industries. Government and corporate net-zero commitments are pushing the steel industry to cancel out its emissions by 2050. The steel industry cannot afford to wait for the 2040s to start its transition.

Researchers develop new non-catalytic process for converting lipids from sewage sludge to biodiesel; high yield and economic production

Green Car Congress

They also demonstrated that the production of biodiesel using the lipids extracted from sewage sludge (SS) could be economically feasible because of its remarkably high yield of oil and low cost, as compared to conventional biodiesel feedstocks.

Delivery of renewable isooctane to Audi tips interesting potential non-biomass pathway for biogasoline; “e-benzin” as solar fuel

Green Car Congress

Global Bioenergies, founded in 2008, has developed a synthetic isobutene pathway that, when implanted in a micro-organism, enables the organism to convert sugars (e.g., The process to convert isobutene to isooctane is well-established. So here our isobutene would allow us to integrate this very cheap fossil component into the fuel.

New metal-free ORR catalyst outperforms platinum in fuel cell

Green Car Congress

The finding, detailed in an open access paper in Nature’s Scientific Reports , is a step toward eliminating what industry regards as the largest obstacle to large-scale commercialization of fuel cell technology—the high cost and insufficient supply of platinum catalysts. —Jeon et al.
