Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

The Swiss company Climeworks is building the world’s largest direct air capture (DAC) and storage facility for converting atmospheric CO 2 to rock in Iceland. C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. This uses a specially developed adsorbent to bind the CO 2 in the air.

Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

The compressor gets the supercritical CO 2 up to the necessary pressure before it meets up with waste heat in the recuperator and returns to the heater to continue the cycle. After the CO 2 exits the turbine, it is cooled in a recuperator before entering a compressor. The recuperator improves the overall efficiency of the system.

Hyundai is going all in on hydrogen, and relying on food waste to make that happen

Baua Electric

But now it says it will rely heavily on hydrogen fuel cells generated from plastic, food, and organic waste to power a whole new generation of EVs, from passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks. The biogas is then treated to capture CO2 and produce hydrogen. It has set its target as the far-away date of 2050.
