German climate tech start-up Reverion has raised €8.5 million to accelerate the production of its 100 kW and 500 kW biogas power plants. It claims its modular power plants can double the efficiency of electricity generation from 40 to 80 percent compared to conventional technology. The small power plants can also run "backward" (reversible), a renewable natural gas substitute or green hydrogen can be produced and stored from a temporary surplus in the wind and solar power to flexible the grid - they can be operated CO2-negatively when biogas is used.

The Haber-Bosch (HB) process produces ammonia in the presence of an iron catalyst at high temperatures and pressures, making it energy intensive. Therefore, developing new catalysts that enable the HB process at lower temperatures is crucial. In this regard, researchers from Tokyo Tech recently prepared metallic iron nanoparticles mixed with barium oxide and electron donor barium hydride, which enhance the catalytic activity for ammonia production at temperatures as low as 100°The Haber-Bosch (HB) process is one of the most important industrial chemical reactions.
