Japan to pay 15 years cost difference to birth green hydrogen technologies

Methane Pyrolysis in a Liquid Metal Bubble Column Reactor [CfD or Contracts-for-Difference subsidies pay the difference between an entrenched energy technology and a newly developing one to bring down those costs till it has scaled-up. CfD policies in the UK for its first decade of offshore wind jumpstarted widespread deployment and resulting cost reductions.] Source: …

Published at Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering – Production of Biochar by Slow and Solar-Biomass Pyrolysis: Focus on the Output Configuration Assessment, Adaptability, and Barriers to Market Penetration

Abstract: Biochar production through slow pyrolysis is a versatile and adaptable approach for managing diverse biomass waste. However, their industrial applications remain limited because of their high energy consumption and the emission of toxic gases. Solar-biomass pyrolysis systems have been proposed to address these challenges. This review examines the relationship between output configuration and the …

Published at International Journal of Hydrogen Energy – Enhancing molten tin methane pyrolysis performance for hydrogen and carbon production in a hybrid solar/electric bubbling reactor

View full size: Abstract: Methane pyrolysis in liquid metals is a worth-developing process for CO2-free hydrogen production. This study investigates methane pyrolysis in molten tin and highlights the impact of several parameters on methane conversion (XCH4) in a novel hybrid solar/electric bubbling reactor. Temperature (1200–1300 °C), total inlet gas flow rate (Q0 = 0.25–0.5 NL/min), …

Published at Energy Conversion and Management – Comparative study of process simulation, energy and exergy analyses of solar enhanced char-cycling biomass pyrolysis process

Comparative study of process simulation, energy and exergy analyses of solar enhanced char-cycling biomass pyrolysis process Abstract: Pyrolysis is an efficient technology for converting biomass into value-added products, characterized by endothermal reactions. The introduction of induced solar irradiance can boost product yields and reduce carbon emissions associated with incineration. However, direct solar pyrolysis faces challenges …
