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

Green Car Congress

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. ENEOS has worked to scale up electrolyzers using Direct MCH technology in order to mass-produce MCH derived from renewable energy (Green MCH).

Audi in new e-fuels project: synthetic diesel from water, air-captured CO2 and green electricity; “Blue Crude”

Green Car Congress

Audi’s latest e-fuels project is participation in a a pilot plant project in Dresden that produces diesel fuel from water, CO 2 and green electricity. The sunfire plant, which operates according to the “power-to-liquid” (PtL) principle, requires carbon dioxide, water and electricity as raw materials. The process is up to 70% efficient.

PNNL biocrude-to-diesel demo passes 2,000-hour catalyst stability milestone

Green Car Congress

A large-scale demonstration converting biocrude to renewable diesel fuel has passed a significant test, operating for more than 2,000 hours continuously without losing effectiveness. Just as crude oil from petroleum sources must be refined to be used in vehicles, biocrude needs to be refined into biofuel. —Michael Thorson.
