Ørsted’s Texas e-methanol project receives financial support

Ørsted, a prominent U.S. clean energy developer, has revealed its selection by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations to initiate negotiations for potential federal funding of up to $100 million. This funding is intended to support the development of an advanced Power-to-X facility known as Star e-Methanol, located on the Texas

DOE allocates $750 mn to advance ‘clean’ hydrogen technology

The Department of Energy (DOE) has unveiled a significant investment of $750 million in research and development aimed at bolstering “clean” hydrogen technology. This initiative, funded under the bipartisan infrastructure law of 2021, is poised to revolutionise the landscape of hydrogen fuel production, promising an annual increase of 1.3 million metric tons in clean hydrogen

DOE funds biomass-to-hydrogen projects

The US Department of Energy on Aug. 17 awarded $34 million to 19 industry- and university-led research projects that will advance cutting-edge technology solutions for clean hydrogen. Several of the projects address biomass-to-hydrogen technologies. The selected projects will focus on developing technologies that could help produce clean hydrogen at lower cost and with less energy;

New system for converting seawater into hydrogen fuel devised

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University with collaborators at the University of Oregon and Manchester Metropolitan University have found a way to tease hydrogen out of the ocean by funneling seawater through a double-membrane system and electricity. Their innovative design has proven successful in generating hydrogen gas without

ORNL develops new hydrothermal synthesis method

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new hydrothermal synthesis method that makes a cobalt-free cathode material (LiNi0.9Mn0.05Al0.05O2, NMA) with more uniform, round, tightly packed particles than is common in today’s cathodes, maintaining more stability throughout a charging cycle. The result is a more affordable battery from a
