Share an interesting Review: Upcycling municipal solid waste to sustainable hydrogen via two-stage gasification-reforming HUI ZHOU, Shuzhuang Sun, Yikai Xu, Yeshui Zhang, Shouliang (Shawn) Yi, Chunfei Wu, 清华 Queen's University Belfast University of Aberdeen National Energy Technology Laboratory Rapid growth in population and industrialization has exacerbated the global energy crisis and environmental sustainability challenges, necessitating the need for effective management of municipal solid waste. The two-stage gasification reforming (TSGR) process represents one of the most promising municipal solid waste utilization technologies. Due to the good separation of waste residue and catalyst, flexible two-stage temperature control, and improved process efficiency, TSGR is superior to other peer technologies. The combination of calcium rings and chemical rings can further improve the performance of TSGR and broaden its application range. https://lnkd.in/gr7_JY5r

🍃 🚘 ♻ The automotive supply industry is advancing technologies for climate-neutral mobility and moving toward a circular economy. By 2022, suppliers reduced CO2 emissions by 4.5% from production lines, with 41% of production powered by renewable fuels. Efforts to incorporate low-carbon, recycled, and bio-based materials are also underway.    To accelerate progress, it is crucial to streamline regulations and enhance collaboration with policymakers.   Discover more about priority #3 of our White paper here: https://lnkd.in/eNYSC7eg   #DrivingAmbition2Action #SustainableMobility

🌍 Sustainability in focus: Carbon Management at Fraunhofer UMSICHT 🌱   In today's economy, products are often incinerated after use, which leads to #CO2 emissions. For a climate-neutral future, we need to rethink: recycling carbon, using it sustainably and developing alternative sources. At Fraunhofer UMSICHT, we develop the technologies and processes to recycle carbon and refine it into valuable chemicals and materials. Our researchers bring their expertise to the fields of chemistry, energy, production and plant engineering to create sustainable solutions along the entire value added chain of carbon management. We also develop tailor-made solutions for defossilized cycles in industries that continue to produce CO2 – such as the cement and lime industries and waste incineration.   Curious about how our technologies and services can support your company? Then do not hesitate to contact our colleague Dr. Sebastian Stießel!   #Sustainability #CarbonManagement #Climateneutrality
