Solar process converts biomass sugars to low cost green hydrogen | Hydrogen

Researchers in China and Singapore have developed a new way to use solar energy and biomass to make cheaper green hydrogen. The method turns sugars from biomass (such as agricultural waste cellulose) into hydrogen and another useful chemical, formate, at the same time. This could be cheaper and may use less energy than standard solar electrolysis that only splits water, because the sugar oxidation replaces the energy-intensive oxygen evolution reaction typically required at the anode. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly limit to access free articles!

Beyond gravity’s pull: orbital chipmaking is better in space | Semiconductors

The space industry is a growing consumer of industrial gases, but in one surprising respect the opportunity could be growing in a new direction. That’s because a new opportunity is emerging in space that relates to the making of materials for another industry served by industrial gases: semiconductor manufacturing. UK-based startup Space Forge is one firm taking this on. In October, it trialled deployment of a novel heat shield, Pridwen, on a zero gravity flight, which followed the signing of a memorandum of understanding with United Semiconductors, a leading specialist in bulk crystal growth of III-V semiconductor compounds.

And recently it generated plasma aboard its ForgeStar-1 satellite,… Read More »Beyond gravity’s pull: orbital chipmaking is better in space | Semiconductors

More LNG for Egypt as new deal strengthens energy and gas ties with Qatar

With the aim of bolstering its liquefied natural gas (LNG) arsenal, Egypt has fortified its bonds with Qatar within the energy and natural gas domains through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) and QatarEnergy, the Persian Gulf state’s heavyweight.
