DOE awards $18M to six projects for algae-based biofuels; targeting <$5/gge

Green Car Congress

Algal biomass can be converted to advanced biofuels that offer promising alternatives to petroleum-based diesel and jet fuels. However, barriers related to algae cultivation, harvesting, and conversion to fuels and products need to be overcome to achieve the Department’s target of $3/gge for advanced algal biofuels by 2030.

SoCalGas introduces STARS solar hydrogen generation system at California Air Resources Board Symposium

Green Car Congress

The generation system uses sunlight to convert natural gas and water into hydrogen and capture the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to prevent carbon emissions. STARS converts a record-setting 70% of solar energy into chemical energy. Earlier post.). These chemicals trap and use the carbon that would otherwise be emitted.

In the Caribbean, EVs leave ICE vehicles behind

Electric Auto Association

From there, he turned to an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)-to-electric conversion. “I I had it shipped to EV West in San Diego and they kept it for a year, converted it, and sent it back to me. That’s a popular thing here, except it’s usually on the water,” Upson said. I had a Mini Moke from British Motor Works.

General Atomics launches bid for DOE small modular reactor program with EM2

Green Car Congress

The EM 2 is a modified version of General Atomics’ high-temperature, helium-cooled reactor and is capable of converting used nuclear fuel into electricity and industrial process heat, without conventional reprocessing. First generation EM 2 uranium starters (~12% U 235 ) initiate the conversion process. The core of the EM 2.
