He recycling has found a third life for what waste that could be flammable more durable for vehicles. We are at a crucial moment for the car market. More and more companies are looking for new ways to reduce their emissions. From there the flammable ecological that can be planted and cultivated, among other revolutionary projects.
For the time being, the sector continues to look for ways to reduce polluting emissions from different fuels. Hydrogen, hybrid formats and electricity are becoming increasingly popular, even though they still have their disadvantages.
There is still some reluctance among all of them, so the investigation continues. Thus it was concluded that the recycling can be a viable option. Something that others see as waste could be used so that a car can go far, companies can make money, and the environment can be preserved. It seems like a utopia, but is that possible? Let’s see to what extent!
The project we are talking about considers the possibility of converting waste into green hydrogen for vehicles. Hyundai has shown the world how they carry out the entire process. It starts with the extraction of biogas and ends with the generation of hydrogen. The so-called W2H, acronym for a process that converts biogas from organic waste into hydrogen.
The fuel of the future will come thanks to recycling
Technology & Construction (E&C) j Hyundai Rotem (both group companies Hyundai) work together to improve the technological development of this process. In the CES, Hyundai He showed how the whole process worked.
It starts with obtaining biogas and culminates in hydrogen production, carbon capture and setting up hydrogen filling stations. Organic waste, such as that from food, sewage sludge and animal manure, produces significant amounts of methane, creating global warming concerns.
Converting waste into hydrogen prevents global warming through the use of methane, and also provides new industrial value through the use of hydrogen as green energy.
One of the keys to producing hydrogen from waste biogas is the use of renewable energy at all stages of the process. For example, green hydrogen is generated in electrolysis installations that run on sustainable energy sources, such as wind, solar and hydropower.
Because green hydrogen is generated from a carbon-free energy source, it does not emit polluting gases during production. This property gives it the potential to become the main source of clean energy for the future.
By converting waste into hydrogen, organic waste is collected and broken down with micro-organisms. This procedure is called anaerobic digestion and allows the conversion of waste into biogas.
The biogas then becomes biomethane, while CO2 and impurities are removed. Finally, biomethane is reformed and reborn as hydrogen.
Recycling produces clean fuel that changes the automotive landscape
Converting waste into hydrogen is an advanced technology that has already been tested and is being worked on. Chungju, Korea.
Hyundai E&C j Hyundai Rotem They are participating in a program to demonstrate the process of producing and using hydrogen via biogas. It is the first installation in the world to generate 500 kg of hydrogen per day from 60 tons of food waste and also uses hydrogen cars.
In addition, this transformation has a significant advantage: the ability to strengthen small hydrogen production centers at the regional level.
Hyundai focuses heavily on the use of this type flammable. He recycling It is, but the hydrogen fuel cell car is also present on the market. Only time will tell which will be the strongest fuel in a few years. What is clear is that the automotive world as we knew it has already changed.
