Audi opens power-to-gas facility in Werlte/Emsland; e-gas from water, green electricity and CO2

Green Car Congress

Audi’s e-gas plant. Audi has opened its e-gas plant in Werlte, making it the first automobile manufacturer to develop a chain of sustainable energy carriers. The Audi e-gas plant, which can convert 6MW of input power, utilizes renewable electricity for electrolysis to produce oxygen and hydrogen. Click to enlarge.

New system for more efficient CO2 electrolysis to hydrocarbon products

Green Car Congress

Electrolysis offers an attractive route to upgrade greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to valuable fuels and feedstocks; however, productivity is often limited by gas diffusion through a liquid electrolyte to the surface of the catalyst. 2020) “CO2 electrolysis to multicarbon products at activities greater than 1 A cm -2.”

Researchers develop bi-metallic catalyst for thermocatalytic decomposition of methane: H2 with low or no CO2

Green Car Congress

The TCD process uses a novel bimetallic catalyst to produce hydrogen. Hu experimented with catalysts and processes that could cleanly convert methane into both hydrogen and carbon using catalytic pyrolysis. The chemical reaction produces hydrogen as solid carbon accumulates on the catalyst. —Xu et al.

Engineered E. coli could make carbohydrates, renewable fuel, from CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Newcastle University in the UK have engineered Escherichia coli bacteria to capture carbon dioxide using hydrogen gas to convert it into formic acid. The bacteria grew under gas pressure and generated formic acid from the CO 2 , said Dr. Sargent. In this study, an E. —principal investigator Frank Sargent.

Berlin Airports to test Opel HydroGen4; CO2-neutral hydrogen station

Green Car Congress

Opel is further expanding its market trial with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with a HydroGen4 vehicle going to the Berlin Airports. BER [Berlin Brandenburg Airport] is an ideal partner as it possesses the world’s first CO 2 neutral gas station. The Total gas station provides green hydrogen produced from wind energy by Enertrag.
