Eneos’ Direct MCH uses an electrolyzer to produce MCH directly from water. Water is oxidized on the anode catalyst to produce oxygen, protons, and electrons. After dehydrogenation, the toluene can be reused to create MCH again. Both toluene and MCH are toxic substances.
The demonstration plant will also serve as a model for future commercial plants. The reactor is fed with methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) of biowaste origin from a local paper mill, as well as water (H 2 O). The system as demonstrated has a production capacity of 100 standard cubic meters of syngas per hour.

As the only US-based company established solely for the commercialization of its SMR, NuScale has developed technology for a scalable small modular reactor. With its design, the NuScale Power Module has the ability safely to shut down and self-cool, indefinitely, with no operator action, no AC or DC power and no additional water.
the developer of a process for harvesting algae and cleaning up oil & gas water, announced that its second original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) agreement will target oil service companies in the Canadian oil sands market. OriginOil, Inc., LH was an early private investor in Athabasca Oil Corporation.
The move follows three years of internal development supported by commercial customers and the US Department of Energy (DOE). Now that we can match the performance of a best-in-class commercial NMC-622 in a volume production plasma, it became clear that we have something very unique and should accelerate efforts. Aaron Bent, CEO of 6K.

The process is based on UOP’s Ecofining process, which utilizes conventional refinery hydroprocessing technology and which is commercially available for the production of renewable diesel produced from biofeedstocks.
Heavy-duty distribution vehicles with a fuel cell range extender—while not yet commercially available in the EU—are demonstrated in H2-Share and their potential is assessed in this project by TNO. H2-Share will join forces with four front-runner NWE regions in three member states (BE, NL, DE).
SUNFIRE-SYNLINK —a co-electrolyzer based on solid oxide cell (SOC) technology—enables the highly efficient production (a projected ~80% efficiency on an industrial scale) of synthesis gas in a single step using water, CO 2 and green electricity. Background: high temperature co-electrolysis.
High-temperature electrolyzers for hydrogen production use both heat and electricity to split water and are more efficient than low-temperature electrolyzers. Traditional and advanced nuclear reactors are well-suited to provide the constant heat and electricity needed to produce clean hydrogen.

The next step in the development of this technology will provide the necessary technical and economic performance data to validate scale-up to commercial-scale production of both cellulosic ethanol and xylitol. Thereafter the facility may be operated for process optimization, continuous improvement and to test new innovations.
The catalyst first removes water from the ethanol (dehydration), leaving behind ethylene. The fuel meets all the specifications required for use in commercial aviation. Each gallon of ethanol is converted to produce ½ gallon of aviation fuel. Each gallon of ethanol is converted to produce ½ gallon of aviation fuel.
where he worked with Continental Airlines in helping to achieve the first US commercialdemo flight using an algae-oil blend.). Direct water-splitting technologies—using photoelectrochemical devices or photosynthetic microorganisms—are the “Holy Grail” of the hydrogen economy. Brian Goodall. Earlier post.).
This toxicity can be mitigated by extensive water washing to remove residual ILs prior to saccharification or fermentation, by use of a new class of lower toxicity ILs, by development of IL-tolerant enzyme mixtures and biofuel production strains, or by a combination of these techniques. … —Sundstrom et al.
Bio-isobutanol blends do not suffer from the water solubility issues of ethanol, which means they can be transported via existing fuel pipelines. Butamax Advanced Biofuels LLC was formed to develop and commercialize bio-isobutanol as a next-generation renewable biofuel and chemical.
Chilldyne optimized the cold plate using corkscrew-shaped metal channels, called turbulators, that force water around them “like little tornadoes,” maximizing the heat absorbed, says Harrington. Emily Waltz Mining leaves behind piles of waste after the commercially viable material is extracted.
The project in north-central Alberta aims to develop a commercial operation that produces clean, synthesis gas for power generation. Underground coal gasification has been used commercially outside of North America for close to 40 years with minimal surface impact when compared to traditional coal mining and production.

The project was located in the western San Joaquin Valley, which has received a low water allocation from state and federal sources for the past several years. —Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis.
Whereas natural evaporation leaves other elements of the salt water in the form of impurities in the extracted lithium, the new technology allows separate extractions of lithium as well as other high-value added elements such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and boron. Li3 will provide all technical support as necessary.

The decision triggers investments of around NOK 2 billion (US$238 million), realizing a 60-70% cost reduction per MW from the Hywind demo project in Norway. Our objective with the Hywind pilot park is to demonstrate the feasibility of future commercial, utility-scale floating wind farms. Production start is expected in late 2017.
In addition to integrating zero-emission vehicles and cargo-handling equipment into the full scope of terminal operations, the project’s goals are to reduce emissions at berth from non-regulated ships, accelerate the development of commercially viable zero and near-zero emission equipment and solutions. The commercial component followed.
Global Bioenergies will use its demo plant, presently under construction on the site of the Leuna refinery, to produce these batches. However, Global Bioenergies’s current production pathway for bio-isobutene—fermenting sugars derived from starch or biomass—doesn’t mesh with Audi’s ideal e-fuels criteria: water, CO 2 and renewable energy.
Tesla Bot Development Platform Demo. Tesla showed videos of the robot watering plants, carrying a box, and picking up a metal bar at a factory. Tesla After the very brief live demo, Musk showed some video clips of the prototype robot doing other things (starting at 19:30 in the livestream). Tesla Bot Latest Generation Demo.
It’s not the first time SpaceX has launched a mostly commercial Moon lander, and it won’t be the last. Beresheet failed just a minute or two before touchdown , but the attempt was still a historic step for commercial spaceflight. km) away from Earth. Lunar Flashlight is about the size of a briefcase.
But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ºC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. In the case of moving water, a turbine harvests the energy in the flow to generate hydroelectricity.
Such cooperation also requires interoperability standards that extend to the commercial partners in the wider Artemis program. Mission planners are hopeful that the water ice exists in quantities sufficient to be a useful source of hydrogen and oxygen for fueling rockets. There will also be commercial missions, with U.S.
But it’s clearly aware that it’s not going to maintain that position by resting on its laurels and is pulling out all the stops to remain strong in the commercial market. A lot of thought was given to how to make the truck commercially viable, with the brand going so far as to come up with solutions to make one-man operations more feasible.
The UK government has also announced that, following a successful business trial, Innovate UK will offer a new flexible and affordable innovation loan programme worth £150m over a three-year period to help UK SMEs to put their latest Commercialization of R&D innovations. The UK will invest £9.4
And it’s not a fantasy; it’s been developed, tested, and deployed commercially. The cofounders of Mainspring Energy , of which I am one, spent 14 years developing this technology, and in 2020 we began rolling it out commercially. Mainspring Energy’s first commercial product contains two linear generator cores.
So yeah, so we have sold a few hundred thousand products over the last three years when we started selling commercially. Fili: I mean, this is the fourth commercial solar cell technology in the world after 110 or something years of research. We have zero emissions to air and water. And we’re completely vertically integrated.
