MAN Energy Solutions and Fraunhofer IST analyze options for cost-efficient hydrogen supply to Salzgitter industrial cluster

Green Car Congress

MAN Energy Solutions and the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films (IST) have published their analysis of the framework conditions for the future supply of green hydrogen to the Salzgitter steel site near Hannover. Of course, we will still need imported hydrogen, and in large quantities, for two reasons.

Researchers Suggest Microalgal Biofuels Could Be Sustainable and Economical in 10-15 Years

Green Car Congress

Algae store chemical energy in the form of oils such as neutral lipids or triglycerides; the algal oil can be extracted and converted into biodiesel by transesterification with short-chain alcohols or by hydrogenation of fatty acids into linear hydrocarbons for drop-in fuel components.

DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2

Green Car Congress

The European NEMESIS 2+ consortium has and successfully tested a pre-commercial on-site system for the production of hydrogen from diesel and biodiesel. kilograms of hydrogen from 20 liters of biodiesel per hour—this roughly corresponds to the fuel tank of a B-Class F-cell vehicle. per kilogram of hydrogen (US$6.53).

UOP looking to biomass catalytic pyrolysis to expand volumes of renewable hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

The primary objective of conventional hydrotreating is to remove impurities present in petroleum feedstocks, such as sulfur and nitrogen, via the addition of hydrogen. UOP also has licensed plants in Italy and Portugal to use the EcoFining technology. Lowering hydrogen costs would thus lower production costs. —Jim Rekoske.
