US to build giant hydrogen fuel plant

26.09.2021

The American company Plug Power announced plans to build a new plant for the production of environmentally friendly fuels in Fresno County, California (USA). The plant is designed to produce 30 tons of hydrogen per day without harm to the environment, which will be used mainly in the transport industry in the future to reduce the carbon footprint.

Energy giant Plug Power is a leading developer of hydrogen cell systems for equipment and vehicles. The new plant will be part of a large green fuel ecosystem on the US West Coast, serving customers from San Diego to Vancouver.

The enterprise will have a new solar power plant with a capacity of 300 megawatts, which will power modern electrolyzers that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The company already has similar units in New York, Tennessee and Georgia. According to Plug Power's plans, by 2025 the entire network will produce 500 tons of liquid hydrogen per day. By 2028, the daily reduction of CO2 emissions through the use of sustainable fuels around the world will be a thousand tons per day.

The building permit is currently being prepared. The company plans to fully build the plant in early 2023, and put it into operation in early 2024.

"Plug Power is committed to a greener future and is investing heavily in building a hydrogen ecosystem. California is a world leader in the adoption of clean fuels and renewable energy. The company is proud to be part of this transition and supports the state's continued leadership," said Plug CEO. Power Andy Marsh.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

The Dutch Deltares Institute has calculated that the land area on planet Earth has grown by 30 square meters over the past 58 years. km.

Thus, the researchers conclude, with the help of artificial drainage it was possible to "reconquer" more land than it was absorbed by the melting of glaciers and the construction of dams.

As scientists managed to establish, in just 30 years 115 sq. km of land, but about 000 sq. km of territories that were previously under water.

In order to trace in detail all the vicissitudes of the global fight against flooding, Dutch scientists had to analyze images from NASA satellites. It turned out that the largest natural flooding occurred in Tibet, where water from melted glaciers formed new huge lakes.

But the largest draining occurred in the Aral Sea, once the fourth largest lake on the planet. Now it has split into two lakes, and even those have almost completely dried up.
