Syngas or ‘synthesis gas' is a combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, small quantities of carbon dioxide and other trace gases.Syngas is the result of gasification of various carbon-containing fuels to produce a gaseous product with heating value. HereBell Flow Systems explains what it knows as syngas.

A new IDTechEx Research report predicts that the Redox Flow Battery market will be worth $4.5bn by 2028. Redox flow batteries (RFB) are an energy storage technology initially developed by NASA in the 70’s for space applications. After several years of intensive R&D, in 2006, several key patents on the technology expired, opening up the arena to companies all around the world.

Showa Denko has expanded its capacity to produce high-purity hydrogen bromide (HBr), which is used in the manufacture of semiconductors, and started operation of the expanded HBr plant.High-purity HBr is a specialty gas mainly used for fine-etching of polysilicon in the manufacturing processes of semiconductors including DRAMs and NAND flash memories.

ULEMCo has collaborated with Aberdeen City Council (ACC) to deliver the world’s first hydrogen dual fuel road sweeper. The vehicles will use hydrogen fuel for around a third of the energy used to drive and operate the vehicles, making valuable reductions in CO2emissions.

Later in the year, a truck witha combustion engine powered entirely from zero carbon hydrogen fuel will take to the roads.Developed by hydrogen fuel pioneer ULEMCo, the converted VOLVO FH16 vehicle will use what is believed to be the first ‘zero emission’ combustion engineanywhere in the world.The hydrogen combustion truck, with Mega Low Emissions (MLE), is designed to provide a demonstration of how hydrogen fuel can be deployed to de...

​A tiny layer of graphene flakes becomes a deadly weapon and kills bacteria, stopping infections during procedures such as implant surgery. This is the findings of new research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, recently published in the scientific journalAdvanced Materials Interfaces.​Operations for surgical implants, such as hip and knee replacements or dental implants, have increased in recent years.

Researchers at KTH have successfully tested a new material that can be used for cheap and large-scale production of hydrogen – a promising alternative to fossil fuel.Precious metals are the standard catalyst material used for extracting hydrogen from water. The problem is these materials - such as platinum, ruthenium and iridium - are too costly to make the process viable. A team from KTH Royal Institute of Technology recently announced a b...

Amid recent pleas for tougher action to improve air quality, Bureau Veritas has called for a greater understanding of consumer attitudes to low polluting vehicles in order to speed up the phasing out of diesel and petrol cars.

For the first time, an interdisciplinary team from the University of Basel has succeeded in integrating artificial organelles into the cells of livingzebrafish embryos. This innovative approach using artificial organelles as cellular implants offers new potential in treating a range of diseases, as the authors report in an article published in Nature Communications.

Powering clean, efficient cars is just one way fuel cell technology could accelerate humanity into a sustainable energy future, but unfortunately, the technology has been a bit sluggish. Now, engineers may be able to essentially turbocharge fuel cells with a new catalyst.The sluggishness comes from a chemical bottleneck, the rate of processing oxygen, a key ingredient that helps fuel cells, which are related to batteries, produce electricity.
