(Source: Stony Brook University News) The initial focus at Stony Brook University will be on two demonstration projects led by Devinder Mahajan at the Institute of Gas Innovation and Technology (I-GIT). One project is a power-to-gas (P2G) concept that stores excess wind and solar power as hydrogen. The produced hydrogen would then fed to a fuel cell or react with captured carbon dioxide to produce biomethane for distribution in existing natural gas networks to decarbonize fossil gas. Another project involves a biomass thermal conversion process that can produce off-grid electrical power from wood waste using a 30 kilowatt smokeless gasifier. Read full article….
