Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R) completed in Japan; aiming for low-cost green hydrogen production; P2G

Green Car Congress

Renewable energy output is subject to large fluctuations, so FH2R will adjust to supply and demand in the power grid in order to maximize utilization of this energy while establishing low-cost, Green hydrogen production technology. With sights set on expanding the use of renewable energy, Toshiba ESS, Tohoku Electric Power Co.,

Emerson and BayoTech partner to scale production and distribution of low-cost, modular SMRs for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

BayoTech’s modular SMRs produce up to 1,000 kilograms per day, enough to fill as many as 200 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. BayoTech’s patented technology requires less feedstock, which means fewer carbon emissions and less cost to produce hydrogen than traditional reformers, the company says.

Exeter team develops low-cost photoelectrode for spontaneous water-splitting using sunlight

Green Car Congress

A promising way of storing solar energy is via chemical fuels, in particular hydrogen as it is considered as a future energy carrier. The greatest challenge is to develop a suitable technology for large scale and cost effective solar fuel production to compete with fossil fuel. —Pawar and Tahir. Govinder S.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

Methane derived from CO 2 and renewable H 2 sources is an attractive fuel, and it has great potential as a renewable hydrogen carrier as an environmentally responsible carbon capture and utilization approach. Using EEMPA instead reduces the energy needed to fuel such a reaction. A paper on the work is published in ChemSusChem.
