World’s First Carbon Removal Plant Converting Wood Waste to Hydrogen Climatetech innovator Mote announced it is establishing its first facility to convert wood waste into hydrogen fuel while capturing, utilizing, and sequestering carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from its process. It’s estimated that more than 500 million metric tons of wood and agricultural waste are generated every year in the U.S., which today is either disposed of via natural decay, landfills, or open-air burn, all of which return carbon to the atmosphere. With the engineering work of their first facility underway, Mote expects to produce approximately seven million kilograms of carbon-negative hydrogen and remove 150,000 metric tons of CO2 from the air annually. That’s equivalent to removing 32,622 cars off the road. Mote expects to start hydrogen production starting as soon as 2024. | Sentient Labs Develops India's First Indigenous Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Sentient Labs, an R&D innovation lab, building on technologies incubated by KPIT Technologies Ltd, demonstrated India's first truly indigenously developed Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus. The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology has been developed in collaboration with CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research)-NCL (National Chemical Laboratory) and CSIR-CECRI (Central Electrochemical Research Institute). | Greenlane Renewables Signs $12.1 Million Contract With FortisBC Greenlane Renewables Inc. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenlane Biogas North America Ltd., has been awarded a $12.1 million contract by FortisBC Energy Inc. for the supply of a biogas upgrading system for a new project at the Vancouver landfill in British Columbia, Canada. Order fulfillment is expected to commence immediately. | Biogas Genia Bioenergy to Supply Biomethane to an Airport in India The Valencian company has won the engineering contract for the construction of a Small Biogas plant that will produce biomethane and electricity to supply the Indian airport of Bangalore. It will be made from its own organic waste, that is, from the catering waste from flights, bio-waste from kitchens and restaurants, sludge from the airport treatment plant or any other organic waste generated at the facilities. One of the innovative technical characteristics will be the application of a previous process of separation of organic material from other packaging waste that achieves up to 95% purity, something that will allow the use of digestate (material remaining after biodigestion) as fertilizers and amendments. for agriculture. | SJI and REV LNG Break Ground on Four Renewable Natural Gas Facilities in Michigan Biomass Valmet to Supply Biomass Boiler to Tahara Biomass Power in Japan Valmet will supply a biomass power boiler and a flue gas cleaning system to Tahara Biomass Power LLC in Tahara, Japan. The new CFB (circulating fluidized bed) boiler will enable the customer's power plant to achieve a stable power supply at high thermal efficiency while significantly reducing CO2 emissions. This is already the sixth received order for Valmet's CFB boiler to the Japanese market since 2016. | Ence's Biollano Biomass Plant Achieves Sure Sustainability Certificate Hydrogen GenComm Welcomes Northern Ireland Energy Strategy Paul McCormack, Program Manager of the Belfast Met led £12 million international renewable hydrogen project GenComm which has partners across Europe, welcomed Economy Minister Gordon Lyons launching, 'The Path to Net Zero Energy' - an ambitious new strategy designed to ensure Northern Ireland’s energy is secure, affordable and clean for future generations. | Agenda Connecting Green Hydrogen MENA 2022 |
