Plasma gasification produces hydrogen-rich syngas from surgical masks

Envirotec Magazine

After conducting a series of experiments, they obtained synthetic gas (aka syngas) with a high abundance of hydrogen. Gasification allows huge amounts of waste to be converted to syngas, which is composed of several gases including hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane. he said half-jokingly.

Magnetic field boosts biogas production

Envirotec Magazine

It exhibits bioaffinity for the relevant methanogens during the anaerobic digestion and methanation of corn stover (which comprises the leaves, stalks, and cobs of corn). The experimental results showed that methane production increased 44.71% at a 2.82g L-1 TiO2-FNi concentration and with a 11.4mT magnetic field.

Big names including Amazon, Honeywell, Mitsubishi line up behind green hydrogen

Business Green

A flurry of funding rounds have underscored how many big corporates are keen to turbocharge the fledgling hydrogen market. Its pitch: the approach uses 80 per cent less electricity than electrolysis, another "clean" hydrogen approach. Electrolyser technology can generate large amounts of hydrogen cheaply. Molloy agrees.
