DOE to Award Up to $5M in Grants for RD on Hydrogen Production from Coal

Green Car Congress

JUNE 2, 2009

The US Department of Energy has issued up to a $5-million Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0000103) to solicit laboratory-level R&D projects to develop novel technologies for producing hydrogen from coal. Global deposits of PGMs are quite limited with the largest quantities located in South Africa and Russia.

Sasol and ITOCHU to partner on green ammonia and hydrogen

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 5, 2022

South Africa-based Sasol and Japan-based ITOCHU Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) jointly to study and to develop the market and supply chain for green ammonia with a focus on its use as bunkering fuel and for power generation. The product can also be cracked back to hydrogen gas for further applications.

Seuser and Jacobs propose using a process called carbon dioxide hydrogenation to produce cleaner renewable liquid hydrocarbon fuels for transportation. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was discovered in Germany about a century ago and is still used in places like South Africa and Quatar to convert coal and natural gas into liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

An advanced trial of the prototype truck is being run at Anglo-American’s Mogalakwena platinum group metals mine in South Africa. Zero-carbon hydrogen-powered trains would also significantly boost the current environmental benefits of transporting more of Australia’s bulk freight on rail.

MARCH 28, 2009

Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), South Africa and Rutgers University are proposing new Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) reaction chemistry and process designs that they say could increase F-T process efficiency and reduce CO 2 emissions by 15% compared to the conventional process.

AUGUST 20, 2022

But EVs come with important weaknesses, and so people shouldn’t count on them alone to do the job, even for the transportation sector. Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources.
