The United States Congress passed the Clean Air Act in 1970, giving the EPA legal authority to regulate pollution from cars and other vehicles. Since then the EPA has been setting limits on the emissions of certain air pollutants, but how successful have these measures been? Here are some of the results: • Passenger vehicles now give off 98-99% fewer tailpipe pollutants • Lead has been eliminated from all fuels, and sulfur levels in fuels have dropped 90% • Air quality in US cities has drastically improved, despite increased population and vehicle miles traveled per citizen. ACS Industries is proud to have been on the cutting edge of innovation in the automotive exhaust filtration industry since 1975. For decades our custom products have helped automotive OEM's around the globe satisfy emissions standards while optimizing for cost and performance. Give us a call today to find out how ACS can design the perfect part for your exhaust application. https://lnkd.in/e2ZW5m5N

We'll be exhibiting at Connecting Green Hydrogen Europe in Madrid and the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Houston next week on June 26th and 27th. Stop by Booth H13 at Connecting Green Hydrogen Europe or Booth 459 at the Hydrogen Technology Expo; we'd love to talk to you about the latest advancements from ACS Green Energy and find out how we can put our expertise to work for you!

Ebikes have been growing in popularity and are expected to hit a market value of almost $120billion by 2030. Typical ebikes on the market today feature lithium ion batteries that take about 3 hours to charge and get somewhere around 60 miles of use out of that charge. HydroRide Europe AG has now developed a novel hydrogen-powered ebike that can be refueled in as little as 3 seconds for a 37 mile range. Users can charge multiple fuel canisters in a solar powered charging station for fully emission free operation. If you have a hydrogen-powered dream that you'd love to get to market, reach out to ACS and see how our expertise in electrolyzer, fuel cell, and EV components can help you innovate. https://lnkd.in/edyd7RP6

ACS works tirelessly to support the rapidly growing hydrogen economy. We believe that there are countless lifechanging technologies attainable to the human race in the future and we believe hydrogen will play a major role in delivering clean energy to these future breakthroughs. However, even once the hydrogen economy reaches a level of maturity that brings costs down to targeted levels, it will be largely toothless in the fight against climate change without an adequately robust supply of renewable energy. For this reason, we are pleased to observe a major milestone: renewable energy sources are now responsible for creating 30% of global electricity, up from just 19% in 2020.

A new hydrogen combustion engine has emerged out of Korea. Kia, Hyundai, and Volvo are involved in the development of a hydrogen combustion engine set to be unveiled to the consumer market by 2025. Hydrogen combustion vehicles will offer similar performance and reliability as diesel trucks but with extremely low emissions, possibly within the "zero emissions" standards set by the European Union. We at ACS believe that a truly green future will require the development of diverse new technologies and, while our recent work has been more closely applicable to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles than to their combustion counterparts, we are excited to see each one of these green tech developments take shape. https://lnkd.in/erHTuP9v

Green Steel Production is Gaining Global Momentum Blast furnaces are responsible for approximately 70% of steel production across the globe, but this production method is also responsible for almost two tons of annual C02 emissions. The steel industry is extremely carbon-intensive, and this is mainly due to the blast furnace process, which involves smelting iron ore with coal-derived coke at high temperatures, releasing CO2 emissions. There is a short-term opportunity to overhaul this industry in favor of greener practices, as about 70% of all steel furnaces worldwide will require relining by 2030. Plants already undergoing maintenance could shift toward a newer model of Direct Reduction of Iron ore systems (DRI) powered by hydrogen, feeding into Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF). If the electricity powering the furnaces is renewably generated, this sector could effectively eliminate all harmful emissions. Read about some of the facilities around the world already using this green steel production technology and how ACS is supporting their efforts in our latest blog below: https://lnkd.in/dRVEycYK

The EU has just awarded €720m to green H2 projects in the first European Hydrogen Bank auction. The funds will help enable seven green hydrogen projects with a total electrolysis capacity of 1.5 GW, projected to produce 1.58 million tonnes of green hydrogen in the first 10 years of operation. “The winning bidders will produce renewable hydrogen in Europe and will receive a subsidy to bridge the price difference between their production costs and the market price for [grey] hydrogen [made with unabated fossil gas], which is currently driven by non-renewable producers,” said the European Commission.
