Underground Coal Gasification Company In Partnership to Test Alkaline Fuel Cells for Power Generation

Green Car Congress

Australia-based underground coal gasification (UCG) company Linc Energy ( earlier post ) has signed an exclusive agreement with the UK-based alkaline fuel cell technology company AFC Energy Plc and its related company, B9 Coal ( earlier post ). New electrolyte immediately restores the performance of the system.

DOE to award up to $6.7M to projects to convert captured CO2 to useful products, including fuels

Green Car Congress

million in federal funding for cost-shared projects that will develop technologies that utilize CO 2 from coal-fired power plants to produce useful products. However, they may be considered in order to establish a baseline for making comparisons with results from coal-derived flue gas. coal, metals, etc.),

Researchers produce hydrogen from water and charcoal mix at room temperature using laser pulses

Green Car Congress

In an open access paper on the process is published in the ACS Journal of Physical Chemistry C , the researchers speculated that the reactions may be related to those of coal gasification. By comparison, no gas was generated from pure water itself under the same irradiation conditions. mL volume of water.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. This research article focuses on a highly favored route to the synthesis of controlled nanostructures at high rate, high yield, and low cost by molten carbonate electrolysis.

NREL: battery second use offsets EV expense, improves grid stability; recommendations

Green Car Congress

This research revealed utility energy storage as the most promising of possible applications, with a relatively low expense and abundant battery supply. While the value to the original automotive battery owner is restricted primarily to the elimination of end of service costs (battery extraction, disposal, recycling, etc.),
