Haru Oni e-fuels demo plant in Chile officially opens

Green Car Congress

The facility will also capture CO 2 from the atmosphere and use a process of synthesis to combine the CO 2 and hydrogen to produce eFuels, including carbon-neutral methanol (eMethanol); carbon-neutral gasoline (eGasoline); and carbon-neutral Liquefied Gas (eLG). ExxonMobil provides the plant with methanol-to-gasoline (MtG) technology.

Eneos opens demo plant in Australia to produce MCH liquid organic hydrogen carrier

Green Car Congress

MCH contains more than 500 times more hydrogen per unit volume than hydrogen gas. Methylcyclohexane (MCH) is a liquid hydrogen carrier made by the chemical reaction of hydrogen with toluene. After dehydrogenation, the toluene can be reused to create MCH again.

Yamaha and Sumitomo demo on-board thermoelectric generator for CO2 reduction

Green Car Congress

a Sumitomo Corporation Group company, jointly demonstrated a new waste heat recovery system based on a thermoelectric generator (TEG), which generates electrical power via exhaust gas heat. There were notable installation restrictions for the TEG unit, and the gas temperature at the exhaust inlet pipe could not reach the target value.
