Mattershift scales up CNT membranes; potential for zero-carbon fuels for less than fossil

Green Car Congress

The difficulty and high cost of making CNT membranes has confined them to university laboratories and has been frequently cited as the limiting factor in their widespread use. An example of a simplified schematic for converting atmospheric carbon dioxide, water, and solar or wind electricity into ethanol, gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.

Researchers Demonstrate Liquid-Tin Anode SOFC Operating on Biodiesel

Green Car Congress

Researchers from CellTech Power and the University of Connecticut have demonstrated a liquid-tin anode solid-oxide fuel cell (LTA-SOFC) operating on pure biodiesel (B100) prepared via base-catalyzed transesterification of virgin and waste cooking oils. Electricity is produced by converting tin to tin oxide at the anode.
