Germany startup Greenlyte Carbon Technologies is inaugurating the worldwide first LiquidSolar SNG plant in Duisburg, Germany, marking a decisive step from development towards industrial production of synthetic fuels (e-fuels). This milestone positions Greenlyte as a technology leader for innovative, competitive…
Air Liquide S.A. (Paris) announced the successful startup of the world’s first industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot unit with a 30 tons per day ammonia to hydrogen conversion capacity at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Belgium. This groundbreaking innovation demonstrates a key…
Verdox (Woburn, Mass.) has successfully completed initial testing of its all-electric carbon capture technology in collaboration with Norwegian aluminum and renewable energy company Norsk Hydro ASA (Oslo, Norway). The trial demonstrated carbon capture directly on aluminum smelter emissions in preparation…
The use of hydrogen brings unique safety challenges, especially explo- sion risks. As its use grows across industries, effective explosion pro- tection becomes essential. Understanding the principles, practices, and technologies behind explosion protection ensures reliable operations and safeguards people, equipment,…
A new electron-curing system has demonstrated a high-speed, solvent-free production process for powerful battery electrodes at industrial scale. The production process, operated by Kodak Co. (Rochester, N.Y.; www.kodak.com) using the RaiCure™ platform developed by Ateios Systems Inc. (Newberry, Ind.; www.ateios.com),…
Eliminating the traditional electrolyte from electrolysis, a new electrolyzer design is aiming for higher efficiencies and lower costs in green hydrogen production. Tobe Energy (Oklahoma City, Okla.; www.tobe.energy) has developed a high-voltage all-stainless-steel electrolysis system that operates at much lower…
Carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are used in a broad range of products, including automotive parts, construction materials and many others. Economically recycling these materials has proven challenging due to their multi-material makeup. Typically, they are chopped into pellets or strips…
Processes to reuse plastics from end-of-life vehicles are complicated by solid contaminants — including pre-embedded metal and rubber components of different sizes and reinforcing glass fiber. Currently, recycling solids-containing waste-plastic parts is accomplished by physical sorting processes. Honda (Tokyo, Japan;…
Electrically conductive plastics, also known as conjugated polymers, bring many cutting-edge benefits for flexible sensors, medical devices, energy-storage systems and more. They are currently produced at relatively small volumes and come with extremely high prices. A novel technology discovered at…
Following regulations for drinking water, increasingly stringent limits for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in industrial wastewater are anticipated, necessitating improved technology to handle higher rates of removal, as well as to destroy the compounds in concentrated samples. Gradiant (Boston,…
