SoCalGas, H2U testing new Gramme 50 electroylzer for green hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

SoCalGas) and H2U Technologies are testing a new electrolyzer, called the Gramme 50, for the production of green hydrogen. According to early analysis, the cost target of the new technology is half that of current electrolyzers and the total cost of ownership over its life is expected to be 75% less. Southern California Gas Co.

Cemvita demonstrates “gold hydrogen” production in situ, sets up subsidiary

Green Car Congress

Cemvita defines Gold Hydrogen as the biological production of hydrogen in the subsurface through the consumption of trapped or abandoned resources. The hydrogen production in this trial exceeded our expectations. Green hydrogen production, however, is energy intensive and expensive. It is growing at a CAGR of 54.7%

Chinese researchers develop new alloy for on-board hydrogen production for fuel cells

Green Car Congress

In their study, the Ga-In-Sn-Bi alloy-activated Al-H 2 O reaction was demonstrated to be rate-stable with a hydrogen productivity of 92% and therefore superior to similar reactions activated by Ga-In and Ga-In-Sn alloys, the authors said. Hydrolysis of active metals is a widely known hydrogen production approach. In 2015, Zhang et al.
