World’s largest green hydrogen plant planned to open in Duval County, So. Texas in 2026. It will be powered by 60 GW of renewable energy and store the hydrogen in underground salt caverns in Piedras Pintas. https://www.inceptivemind.com/ghi-worlds-largest-green-hydrogen-plant-south-texas/23583/
2022-02-22 Tricking Bacteria To Convert CO2
Scientists found how to trick bacteria into converting CO2 into acetone or isopropanol. This could remove CO2 from the atmosphere. https://interestingengineering.com/bacteria-convert-co2-industrial-chemicals
2022-02-10 Aviation Fuel And Taxes

2021-11-07 Wood Gasifier Runs Generator
This 17 minute video shows a homemade wood gasifier that puts out enough gas to run a small generator. This is his second version with some improvements. The gasifier can use wood chips, sawdust, leaves, paper, etc., but he is using wood pellets which are already dry. The gasifier produces syngas when wood is pyrolyzed

2021-10-12 Artificial Photosynthesis To Turn CO2 Into Fuels
This 6 min. YouTube video talks about using sunlight to change CO2 into green fuel. I still think it’s not doing anything to reduce the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere. https://youtu.be/l5_vrdA4uCg
2021-08-13 Friday! Free Hydrogen!
Ongoing argument! Ivan Rusev I fully understand the math behind what you’re saying. But I got through explaining why is doesn’t matter, and that fell on your deaf ears! You said, “…if you had no bias whatsoever…” Ivan it’s you that doesn’t have the open mind to give credence to other technologies than batteries. They’re

2021-07-12 CO2 To Syngas Using Sabatier Process
Read Applications section for pilot plants that use CO2 to make CH4 that can be used in the existing natural gas system. Also it’s being used to power a fleet of cars. Only problem with CO2 capture to syngas is that it doesn’t permanently remove the CO2 from the atmosphere. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction Quote: << The Sabatier

2021-07-10 Food Made From Captured Carbon
This is something I haven’t read about, a way to capture CO2 and use it and microbes to grow protein. https://www.dezeen.com/2021/06/29/carbon-solar-foods-pasi-vainikka-solein/ It says we exhale much of the carbon we eat. I started thinking about the possibility of someday we would wear a breathing apparatus that captures the CO2 we exhale and use something, possibly

2021-07-09 Hydrogen Can Do What Batteries can’t do
From FB group Heinz Baumann Your chart fails to show the whole picture. The chart doesn’t show that the renewables can’t supply the total electricity demand until the 20 to 35% capacity factor is accounted for by building 3 or more times the solar or wind that is needed. During the winter due to less
