New light-driven photo-electrochemical cell produces hydrogen from contaminated gas, including air

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of Antwerp and KU Leuven (University of Leuven), Belgium, have developed an all-gas-phase solid and stand-alone photo-electrochemical (PEC) cell that produces hydrogen gas from volatile organic contaminated air and light. The system works most efficiently with organic pollutants in inert carrier gas.

Exploring the use of tri-component blends of low-grade biofuels in HCCI engines; ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate and ethyl butyrate

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Belgium and France are exploring the use of a tri-component blend of biofuels derived from low-value biomass wastes—ethyl acetate (EtAc), ethyl propionate (EtPr), and ethyl butyrate (EtBu)—in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines.

However, they found that the two interventions had marginal effects on air pollution, because already implemented traffic policies will reduce PM 2.5 in Belgium.
