7 5 cm 3 in Smoke without sorrow Can green hydrogen be produced from seawater That s exactly what Project SEA2H2 in which Dutch startup Hydron Energy B V that has belonged to Schaeffler since the summer of 2021 has acquired a stake aims to find out The answer is yes it is However the electrolyzers split ting water into oxygen and hydrogen require ultra pure liquids as a prerequisite for doing so Therefore seawater not only has to be desalinated but also purified and filtered in a complex process That costs a lot of energy which the treatment system developed by Schaeffler s startup obtains also from the waste heat of the electrolysis pro cess In a test plant Hydron has already demonstrated that its water treatment system works Now the compo nents are to be optimized for industrial scale application The long term goal is to produce green hydrogen with ener gy from offshore wind farms using this technology and to transfer it ashore in pipelines In the beginning there was fire and then came the fine dust wood smoke contains tiny particles that are hazardous to human health Finnish research ers have now developed a device that makes it possible to enjoy fireside eve nings without a guilty conscience The high temperature electric soot col lector HiTESC that has since been developed further by the Finnish startup Noeton and is planned to be launched by the end of 2022 consists of a high voltage electrode that generates an electric field The particles settle on the surface of the electrode installed in the combustion chamber of the log burning stove where they oxidize at high temperatures and therefore no longer cause any harm The device is operated from a 230 volt power outlet and consumes a moderate amount of 10 to 20 watts according to the manufacturer That s how thick the steel walls of the Earth s Black Box are Like the black box of an aircraft the scientific monument on the Australian island of Tasmania to be completed at the beginning of 2022 is intended to record data to document what has led to the crash albeit not of an aircraft but of our planet Hopefully this documentation will never be needed Source earthsblackbox com If you jump into cold water you dive into a sea of possibilities Finnish proverb H2Ocean The pilot plant for producing hydrogen from seawater on the Dutch island of Texel Featuring a similar design this plant might also be used in offshore wind farms in just a few years from now 45 THINK GREEN
