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

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of Toronto have proposed a method enabling air conditioning and ventilation systems to produce synthetic fuels from CO 2 and water from the ambient air. The team presents this “crowd oil” concept in Nature Communications. —Professor Dittmeyer.

Linde pilot testing dry reforming process to generate syngas from CO2 and methane for production of fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

The dry reforming process differs from steam reforming, which combines CH 4 and water (H 2 O) in the form of steam to produce the syngas. Producing the steam is energy-intensive; dry reforming requires far less water, and hence avoids the energy burden of steam production. Christian Bruch, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG.

A Membrane Strategy for Increasing Hydrocarbon Yield in Biomass-to-Liquids Processes

Green Car Congress

Measured effects on conversion and yield with and without membrane integration (full symbols=without membrane; empty symbols=with membrane). Given the shortage of arable land and water in many countries, there is a need to achieve maximum fuel yields per unit of land. Accordingly, the KIT team is developing new types of membranes.

KIT team designs low-cost photoreactor for efficient solar-driven synthesis

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and their Canadian partners have designed a low-cost photoreactor design for solar-driven synthesis. However, with a concept for highly efficient photoreactor panels that can be installed in cost-effective modules, the research group has now taken a decisive step towards practice.

CleanFUEL USA partners with Freightliner on new 8.0L propane LPI medium-duty engine

Green Car Congress

Conversion kits also will be available to switch medium-duty gasoline vehicles to run on propane. Researchers at MIT had earlier demonstrated the ability to make biopropane (LPG from corn or sugarcane) using a supercritical water process, and created a startup (C3 BioEnergy) in 2007 that attempted to commercialize the technology.
