Study finds advanced cellulosic biofuels show real promise for replacing some fossil fuels

Green Car Congress

A new study led by Colorado State University predicts significant climate benefits stemming from the use of advanced biofuel technologies. Accounting for all of the carbon flows in biofuel systems and comparing them to those in grasslands and forests, the team found that there are clear strategies for biofuels to have a net carbon benefit.

Researchers provide evidence for spillover effect in activated carbon systems for hydrogen storage

Green Car Congress

An MIT-led team of researchers from Taiwan and the US have successfully analyzed the performance of a class of materials considered a promising candidate for hydrogen storage: activated carbon that incorporates a platinum catalyst, allowing the hydrogen atoms can bond directly to the surface of carbon particles and then be released when needed.

RPI researchers develop safe, long-cycling Li-metal rechargeable battery electrode; demonstrate Li-carbon battery

Green Car Congress

The RPI team also demonstrated the use of the PGN material as a high-capacity anode, and demonstrated a full-cell configuration with a PGN anode and a lithium-metal/PGN cathode, thus creating a Li-carbon rechargeable battery. Background. In this regard this concept is no different from a conventional Li-ion battery. —Mukherjee et al.

DOE-sponsored drilling projects demonstrate significant CO2 storage at three sites

Green Car Congress

Evaluation-related test drilling at geologic sites in three states that could store a combined 64 million metric tons of CO 2 emissions—an important component of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology development—has been completed in projects supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE).
