US$7.5M JOSPEL project to develop energy efficient climate control for EVs; leveraging Joule and Peltier effects

Green Car Congress

Joule heating refers to the conversion of the energy of an electric current into heat as it flows through a resistance; when current flows through a solid or liquid with finite conductivity, electric energy is converted to heat through resistive losses in the material. The aim of the €6.7-million million (US$7.5-million)

Light-powered nano-bio hybrid organisms consume CO2, create plastics and fuels

Green Car Congress

By using light-activated quantum dots to fire particular enzymes within microbial cells, the researchers were able to create “living factories” that eat CO 2 and convert it into products such as biodegradable plastic, gasoline, ammonia and biodiesel. A paper on their work appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Ding et al.
