Study finds the wettability of porous electrode surfaces is key to making efficient water-splitting or carbon-capturing systems

Green Car Congress

As water-splitting technologies improve, often using porous electrode materials to provide greater surface areas for electrochemical reactions, their efficiency is often limited by the formation of bubbles that can block or clog the reactive surfaces. As a result, there were substantial changes of the transport overpotential.

Carbon Recycling International and Johnson Matthey collaborate on sustainable methanol

Green Car Congress

Carbon Recycling International (CRI) and Johnson Matthey (JM) have agreed on a long-term exclusive catalyst supply agreement for the use of JM’s KATALCO methanol catalysts in CRI’s Emissions-To-Liquids (ETL) CO 2 -to-methanol plants. Hydrogen can also be processed from by-product hydrogen available in some industrial waste streams.

Lawrence Livermore publishes state-by-state energy/water Sankey diagrams

Green Car Congress

For the first time, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has published state-by-state energy and water Sankey diagrams in one location so that analysts and policymakers can find all the information they need in one place. General location of energy and water categories. Energy and water generally “flows” from left to right.
