A new frontier in hydrogen production lies in waste gasification, where we can convert municipal solid waste, plastics, and even old tires into valuable hydrogen - fueling a cleaner future while addressing waste management challenges. 📝 Key takeaways from recent developments 🚀 Innovation in Waste Gasification: By harnessing the power of advanced thermochemical processes, we can transform everyday waste into hydrogen - a clean and renewable energy source. ♻️ Tackling the Waste Crisis: Municipal waste, discarded plastics, and old tires contribute to mounting global waste. Gasification offers a dual benefit: reducing landfill use while producing energy. 🔬 Catalysts for Efficiency: Nickel-based and dolomite catalysts are game-changers, helping to maximize hydrogen yields and minimize harmful byproducts like tars and sulfur. 💡 Decarbonizing Industries: Hydrogen from waste is a key player in the fight against climate change, offering a pathway to decarbonize sectors such as transport and manufacturing. 🚧 Challenges and Opportunities: While gasification technology is mature, challenges remain around managing byproducts and ensuring regulatory support. With the right policies and subsidies, we can accelerate its adoption and realize its full potential. The future of green hydrogen is not just about renewable resources -it's about turning waste into a sustainable energy solution.

Green hydrogen is the future of sustainability, and electrolyzers are the key to its production. Did you know that there are primarily two types of electrolyzers? The first is Alkaline electrolyzers, and the second is PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzers. The good news is that both types are available within Aspen Hsysy/Plus. So, if you're interested in exploring this technology, why not give it a try? Below also is how the plant would look like for both of them. source: https://lnkd.in/dGgqGXYW #GreenHydrogen #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #ProcessEngineering #CleanEnergy

Innovative Carbon Capture Solutions for Decarbonizing Small Industrial Emitters To achieve net-zero emissions, industries of all sizes must explore and adopt carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies. This case study by Prof. Dawid Hanak from the Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre highlights promising solutions for decarbonizing smaller emitters, such as the food manufacturing sector. Key Highlights: 🔹 Industrial clusters across the UK, including Grangemouth, Merseyside, Teesside, and Humberside, are significant CO2 emitters, necessitating urgent decarbonization efforts. 🔹 Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects like Net Zero Teesside Power and H2Teesside demonstrate the potential of CCS for power generation and hydrogen production. 🔹 For smaller emitters like Quorn's mycoprotein fermentation process (emitting 13 ktCO2/year), conventional amine solvent scrubbing and carbonate looping technologies offer viable decarbonization pathways. 🔹 Economic analyses reveal that carbonate looping with methanation could be the most cost-effective solution, costing between £261 and £378 per ton of CO2 captured while also producing valuable hydrogen as a by-product. The food manufacturing sector, among others, faces the urgent challenge of reducing its carbon footprint. By exploring and implementing innovative CCU technologies, even smaller emitters can contribute to the global fight against climate change. In my view, while the economic viability of these solutions remains a concern, the potential environmental and societal benefits justify continued research and development efforts. Overcoming technical hurdles, such as improving sorbent performance, reactor design, and process integration, will make these technologies commercially viable. I invite you to share your thoughts on the role of CCU in decarbonizing small industrial emitters and any other innovative solutions they may be aware of. Together, we can accelerate the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future. #CarbonCapture #Decarbonization #SustainableIndustry #CleanTech

How can we balance energy security and sustainable solutions in the oil and gas industry? It is a hugely important question, and one that GIC member Clariant addresses in its latest highly insightful blog.

Biomass Aerogel for Sustainable Radiative Cooling! In a rapidly warming world, it is crucial to cool our homes efficiently during sweltering summer months while reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to meet carbon reduction targets. A recent paper published in Science claims the development of an innovative aerogel made from gelatin and DNA that surpasses 100% solar reflectance, achieving exceptional radiative cooling. The photoluminescent aerogel boasts a visible light reflectance of 104%. When exposed to sunlight, the material was found to cool surfaces by up to 16°C below the ambient temperature. This biodegradable material represents a significant advancement in the development of high-performance, next-generation radiative cooling technologies, promoting environmentally friendly progress in the field. However, some researchers have expressed skepticism about certain aspects of the claims. Despite this, they believe the technology holds promising potential for applications in paints. #globalwarming #GHG #aerogel #sustainability Image credit: SCIENCE, 4 Jul 2024, Vol 385, Issue 6704, pp. 68-74.
