Researchers develop co-catalyst system for lower cost conversion of CO2 to CO; syngas for synfuels

Green Car Congress

A team from the University of Illinois and startup Dioxide Materials has developed an electrocatalytic system for the reduction of CO 2 to CO—a key component of artificial photosynthesis and thus an enabler for the conversion of CO 2 to synthetic fuels—at overpotentials below 0.2 This is very energy. —i.e.,

Researchers discover lower-cost, energy-efficient way to produce alane for hydrogen storage

Green Car Congress

Along with titanium catalyst dopants and hydrogen, theorists looked at vacancy defects, or missing aluminum, on the surface of aluminum powders and established that this combination working in concert is critical to the low-energy formation of alane. —Wang et al. —Duane Johnson, Ames Laboratory Chief Research Officer and F.

The US’ EV incentives are being updated: Here’s some useful tips

Teslarati

With new incentives being proposed consistently, the US Department of Energy (DOE) has now dedicated a whole new page on its site for new EV laws and incentives. Many states determine eligibility by fuel type, class of vehicle, whether the vehicle is new or used, and how the vehicle will be used (commercially or personally).
