Georgia Tech team furthers four-stroke-cycle active-membrane piston reactor for enhanced SMR for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Prior work has established the thermodynamic viability of the CHAMP-SORB concept to achieve 90% fuel conversion at 400 °C and 2:1 steam to carbon ratio, as well as demonstrated the performance enhancements enabled by incorporation of CO 2 and H 2 removal in the absence of transport-limitations using the bench-scale reactor prototype.

DOE to award up to $13M to four advanced biofuels projects

Green Car Congress

In the United States, the transportation sector accounts for two-thirds of total US oil consumption and about one-third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. DOE is continuing to pursue the development of these renewable biofuels, with the goal of producing cost-competitive drop-in biofuels at $3 per gallon by 2017.

USDA to invest up to $100M to boost infrastructure for renewable fuel use; seeks to double number of higher blend ethanol fuel pumps

Green Car Congress

Higher blends of renewable fuel offer potential for increasing the use of renewable fuels in the US gasoline pool, but currently, the typical gas pump can deliver fuel containing a maximum of 10% ethanol. States that are able to provide greater than a one-to-one ratio in funding will receive higher consideration.

Ceramic pump moves molten metal at a record 1,400 ?C; new avenues for energy storage and hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

A ceramic-based mechanical pump able to operate at record temperatures of more than 1,400 ˚C (1,673 K) can transfer high-temperature liquids such as molten tin, enabling a new generation of energy conversion and storage systems. This would allow us to create a new type of battery. —Asegun Henry.
