General Motors and Hawaii’s The Gas Company (TGC), the state’s major gas energy provider, are collaborating on a hydrogen infrastructure project. This is the type of enabler that a hydrogen transportation infrastructure needs because it addresses both the source of the hydrogen and a feasible way to deliver it for fuel cell vehicle use.
H 2 Bioil is created when biomass, such as switchgrass or corn stover, is heated rapidly to about 500 °C in the presence of pressurized hydrogen. This paper contains a comprehensive financial analysis of the H2Bioil process with hydrogen derived from different sources. —Singh et al. We’re in the ballpark.
Liquid organic hydrogen carriers are flexible media for the storage and transportation of renewable energy. The research project thus has the potential to allow for more efficient and economical transport of hydrogen, which can in turn contribute to the expansion of global hydrogen supply chains.
Fleets across the country are trying to reduce their vulnerability to spikes in oilprices and are finding themselves increasingly subject to greenhouse gas emissions limitations at the federal, state and local levels. The tool also identifies the number of available stations by state and technology across the nation.
Governments and vehicle manufacturers will need to introduce long-term incentives and price cuts to create a sustainable European market for ultra-low emission vans (ULEV), according to a newly published report by Element Energy, commissioned by the UK Department for Transport.
A new study by the French institute Enerdata, commissioned by the European Federation for Transport & Environment (T&E), suggests that the European CO 2 standards for new vehicles due to come into effect in 2012 will lead not only to a European savings on oil (mainly via lower oil import volumes) but also to slightly lower global oilprices.
Electrification and hydrogen fuel may become mainstream in the future. Turkish bus manufacturer Karsan recently showcased its first hydrogen-fueled vehicle at the IAA transport show. The e-ATA Hydrogen is a 12-meter bus that can carry up to 95 passengers (40 seats) and has a range of more than 500 kilometers.
The production costs for most chemicals via microbial fermentation are currently high compared to oil-derived products primarily because of operating costs associated with feedstock and feedstock processing. They can take carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas and turn them into chemicals such as acetone, butanol or ethanol. Jones, Alan G.
Unlike prior processes for converting alcohols into hydrocarbons with multiple steps for dehydration, oligomerization, and hydrogenation, the Vertimass consolidated alcohol dehydration and oligomerization (CADO) conversion is accomplished in a single reactor system using a metal exchanged zeolite catalyst. GJ in the near future.
These fuels are: liquefied natural gas (LNG); liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); methanol and ethanol; di-methyl ether (DME); synthetic fuels (Fischer-Tropsch); biodiesel; biogas; use of electricity for charging batteries and cold ironing; hydrogen; and nuclear. —“Alternative Fuels for Shipping”. Ship electrification and renewables.
8 million to continue the Vehicle Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Logistics Program. This Defense Logistics Agency-managed competitive program continues the development of fuel cell technologies for use in DoD vehicles and the development of the hydrogen infrastructure to support use of those vehicles.
Penetration rates for the PHEV-10 and the PHEV-40 were compared to a Reference Case that assumes high oilprices and fuel economy standards specified by EISA 2007 (with modest increases after 2020, when those standards level off), as described in the 2008 Hydrogen Report from NRC. Click to enlarge.
Other conclusions in this area are: It is highly uncertain whether appreciable amounts of hydrotreated renewable oils can be affordably and cleanly produced within the United States or abroad. Various types of algae have high oil content and are another possible source of oil for hydrotreatment.
Using catalysts and heat, hydroprocessing removes oxygen, adds hydrogen and rearranges carbon molecules to create a drop-in petroleum substitute that requires no engine modifications in a 50% blend. Natural bio-oils have carbon chain lengths that are in the diesel range, 16-18 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon. Hydroprocessing.
Without strong climate policy, one might expect production of unconventional hydrocarbon fuels to increase dramatically in the coming decades as supplies of conventional oil become gradually tighter. A growing supply of unconventional transportation fuels would tend to moderate oilprices and would drive up emissions on a life cycle basis.
Investing in alternative fuels is not only good for the environment, it’s a smart move for our company as biofuels have the potential to hedge against future oilprice volatility and carbon regulations. —United Executive Vice President and General Counsel Brett Hart.
Next, in the APR process, resultant sugar alcohols react with water over a proprietary heterogeneous metal catalyst to form hydrogen and chemical intermediates. Preliminary analysis suggests that Virent’s BioForming process can compete economically with petroleum-based fuels and chemicals at crude oilprices of $60 a barrel.
It’s a robust technology, but you have to pay the oilprice, and if you have to burn an awful lot of heat in order to enable that endothermic chemistry, if you were to care about the energy footprint of this, it’s the three pounds of CO 2 produced to make one pound of polyethylene.
In the wake of rising oilprices, demand for hybrid models has grown rapidly, leading Nissan to reconsider its previous stance of cooperating with Toyota on hybrid developments, the sources said. Compared with nickel-hydrogen batteries, which Toyota and Honda Motor Co. sources said Friday.
As one example of factors contributing to that decision, a survey of projected oilprices returned values between $30 and $250 a barrel, he said.). (Reflecting the current difficulties in forecasting, Anderman, who publishes an annual market forecast for the sector, said he decided not to produce the 2009 report.
FCVs fueled with low carbon, renewable hydrogen (for PC). The reference case predicts, within two different scenarios for oilprice development and battery technology progress, an expected market development for each technology under the current regulatory framework. BEVs fueled with low carbon, renewable electricity (for PC).
Although biofuels have other economic or security advantages, DOE understands that any drop-in liquid fuel will not insulate consumers from the global oilprice. DOE says it will maintain a limited program of fundamental R&D in fuel cells for transportation and in hydrogen production and storage.
Genomatica expects Bio-BDO to be competitive at oilprices of $45 per barrel or at natural gas prices of $3.50 Even palladium-catalyzed aromatic carbon–hydrogen bond activation to make new carbon–carbon bonds can be done at room temperature, an extraordinary achievement. per million Btu.
The company issued a Press release outlining its commitment to green cars and battling rising oilprices over the last 25 years: stating how it has been [.]. South Korean carmaker Kia has not given up on fuel cell vehicles – declaring that they are firmly a part of its plans over the next few years.
Very broadly, they found that an LCFS would buffer the economy against global oilprice spikes, trim demand for petroleum, and lessen upward pressure on gas prices. found that on a well-to-wheels basis, lower emitting oil sands cases can outperform higher emitting conventional crude cases. A new study by Bergerson et al.
the only companyselling hydrogen-powered cars to U.S. Honda, which began leasing hydrogen fuel cell FCX Claritysedans in Los Angeles last year, still sees hydrogen as the bestlong-term alternative to gasoline as a fuel that can cut carbonexhaust tied to global warming, President Takeo Fukui said in aninterview.
Implementing biofuels on a larger scale could also cut emission levels while sustaining the use of the internal combustion engine and effectively providing a bridge to alternative fuels such as electricity and hydrogen. As such it’s easy to see why there is so much support among governments.
The oilprice shocks of the 1970s led the Brazilian government to address the strain high prices were placing on its fragile economy. Brazil, the largest and most populous country in South America, was importing 80% of its oil and 40% of its foreign exchange was used to pay for that imported oil. by Brian J.
and its forthcoming sequel, talks to us about the fate of GM, the downfall of hydrogen and why electric cars truly are making a comeback By Siel. and its forthcoming sequel, talks to us about the fate of GM, the downfall of hydrogen and why electric cars truly are making a comeback By Siel. Q: What about hydrogen?
Then give us all a hydrogen cracker (solor powered) and run our cars and supplement our homes with the hydrogen. No more Big OIL - think of the extra money stimulating the economy! Most days you make more than you use - put that back into the grid. Its better solar transfer/storage than a battery. Then we are done! SZ (1) 6753.T
