Green ammonia, produced from renewable energy, is an excellent fuel and fertilizer that can potentially replace significant volumes of fossil fuels and help accelerate the transition to a world powered by renewable energy. The green ammonia plant, which will be built by Skovgaard Invest, Vestas and Topsoe, will be state of the art and the world’s first so-called dynamic green ammonia plant. The dynamic approach entails that the clean power from wind turbines and solar panels will be connected directly to the electrolysis unit making it more cost-effective than if involving a battery or hydrogen storage. Topsoe will design the plant’s dynamic ammonia technology to secure optimal production and adapt to the inherent fluctuations in power output from wind turbines and solar panels. The ammonia plant will interface to a green hydrogen solution developed by Vestas, integrating electrolysis with wind and solar in one smart control system. The partnership will jointly invest in the project. ”

  Hexagon Purus has received an order for hydrogen storage systems from KEYOU, a Munich-based clean mobility company. Hexagon Purus will supply its technology for KEYOU’s H2 combustion engine DEMO Bus with a leading European OEM and its DEMO truck project. Hexagon Purus’ systems will be supplied from its Kassel, Germany, and Kelowna, Canada facilities. The first deliveries will be in November 2021. KEYOU has redesigned the traditional internal combustion engine enabling it to run on hydrogen as a sustainable and clean fuel, bringing about a large leap in propulsion development. The company has succeeded in developing an emission-free, yet cost-effective hydrogen drive for commercial vehicles – without compromising performance, capacity, or range. “KEYOU and Hexagon Purus share a common vision and a common interest – to drive the energy transition and achieve clean air everywhere,” said Michael Kleschinski, EVP Hexagon Purus. “As more European countries and cities announce strategic pol

  With pathogenic bacteria rapidly overcoming our arsenal of organic antibiotics, James Mitchell Crow asks if it is time to revisit metal-based antimicrobials Liquid suspensions of heavy metal complexes are generally not meant to be swallowed. But nestled between lead and polonium at position 83 on the periodic table is an elemental exception. Bismuth is a heavy metal with a long history of medical use. Bismuth subsalicylate has been used to treat gastrointestinal troubles since the 18th century, and in the US has been marketed as over-the-counter medicine Pepto-Bismol since 1919. Today it is widely prescribed as part of a combination therapy to treat stomach ulcers caused by the drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterium,  Helicobacter pylori . ‘Bismuth has this strange double character of being a heavy metal with this powerful antimicrobial activity, but at the same time seems very low toxicity within humans,’ says Philip Andrews, an organometallic chemist at Monash University in Melbour
