Tesla Model Y converted into green hydrogen car to show “Hyper Hybrid” innovations

Teslarati

German Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek recently unveiled an example of a “hyper hybrid” vehicle powered by synthetic methanol, which is based on “green hydrogen” technologies. But while the idea to produce a climate-friendly car is admirable, the vehicle Germany used for the project was quite questionable.

HyIron opens direct reduction plant for green iron

Green Car Congress

At the plant, iron ore will be reduced solely with the aid of green hydrogen. The first step in the research project is to produce more than one ton of green iron/hour using green hydrogen. Here the hydrogen reacts completely with the oxygen in the iron ore and converts it into elemental iron (direct reduced iron (DRI)).

Study finds that switch to heavy and synthetic crude oils could double or triple refinery emissions

Green Car Congress

This raises the possibility that a switch to these oils might impede or foreclose the total reduction in emissions from all sources that is needed to avoid severe climate disruption. Accurate prediction of emissions from substitutes for conventional petroleum is therefore critical for climate protection. —Karras 2010.
