Sandia team boosts hydrogen production activity by molybdenum disulfide four-fold; low-cost catalyst for solar-driven water splitting

Green Car Congress

The improved catalyst has already released four times the amount of hydrogen ever produced by MoS 2 from water. Nevertheless, because of the scarcity and cost of Pt, a more abundant alternative is needed for cost-effective implementation. Molly is dirt cheap and abundant. Water splitting is a challenging reaction.

Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely.

Trade-off analysis map showing the available and least expensive water option for each site. Sites where water supply costs are. Achieving larger production volumes would require the utilization of less water-efficient sites and relatively expensive saline waters, they suggested. —Erik Venteris, first author.

Wind, Hills and Range Anxiety: A 50-Mile Handcycling Adventure

Baua Electric

Gordon, chairman of the department of health, human performance and recreation at Baylor University in Wako, Texas, largely because of the difference in the amount of muscle mass. Windmills turned slowly, pumping water for the cattle that dotted the pinyon and juniper woodlands. But handcycles aren’t cheap.

PNNL, OSU team develops a durable, inexpensive molybdenum-phosphide catalyst for efficient conversion of wastewater & seawater into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Like seawater, the MoP catalyst material is widely available, and therefore, cheap. This integrated design increases productivity and lowers equipment costs. But with the high cost of platinum, the team needed a catalyst that could lower production costs to around two dollars per kilogram of hydrogen.

The Why, How, and Maybe Not of Geoengineering

Cars That Think

And so the cost of that right now is really, really high. People who’ve looked at the space have heard people say this is cheap and easy to do, and it is cheap and easy to do relative to transformation of the global economy. Absolutely, but it’s not necessarily cheap and easy to do in an absolute sense.
