DTM trialing lower-carbon high-performance racing fuel with Audi and Aston Martin

Green Car Congress

As a result, it has a carbon footprint more than 30% lower than gasoline manufactured entirely from petroleum. It not only maintains the same high-octane rating required by the DTM, but also meets the requirements of the legal fuel norm, DIN EN 228. We are proving that low carbon fuels are also suitable for racing engines.

Researchers propose using AC and ventilation systems for decentralized production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels

Green Car Congress

In case of combustion for mobility or power generation, in this scenario the CO 2 emitted is again captured, finally allowing for a closed, net zero carbon cycle, thus, enabling a circular CO 2 economy based on hundreds, thousands, and ultimately millions of modular plants. In addition, they expect carbon efficiency—i.e.

Rio Tinto declares maiden ore reserve at Jadar; major potential source of battery-grade lithium carbonate

Green Car Congress

Ore reserves are valuable and legally, economically, and technically feasible to extract. Pre-feasibility studies have shown that the Jadar project has the potential to produce both battery-grade lithium carbonate and boric acid. Earlier post.). Rio Tinto said the Ore Reserve is 16.6 Mt at 1.81% Li 2 O and 13.4%

Zhejiang Methanol Hydrogen and Element 1 partner to deliver hydrogen generation technology to Greater China

Green Car Congress

The hydrogen generators produced by the JV under license from e1NA use methanol and water as feedstock resulting in cost effective onsite production of hydrogen and a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and local air pollution when compared to gas and oil.

Ekona Power closes CAD 79M Series A to advance pulsed methane pyrolysis technology for clean hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Ekona’s pulsed methane pyrolysis (PMP) solution disassociates feedstock methane into hydrogen and solid carbon, thereby significantly reducing CO 2 emissions. PMP uses the pulsed injection of thermal and mechanical energy, resulting in the automatic removal of carbon-buildup due to unsteady flow.
