KIT spin-off producing synthetic natural gas from green hydrogen and CO2 from sewage sludge

Green Car Congress

Chemical reactor company INERATEC , a spinoff of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and the Spanish company GAS NATURAL FENOSA have built a plant in Spain that produces synthetic natural gas from CO 2 and renewable hydrogen. The process uses energy from renewable sources and stores it in the chemical energy carrier methane.

Why Bidirectional Charging is The Next Big Thing for EV Owners

Wallbox

Well, when an EV is charged, AC (alternating current) electricity from the grid is converted to DC (direct current) electricity, the kind that can be used by a car. This conversion is carried out by either the car’s own converter or a converter located in the charger. V2G: Vehicle to Grid.

DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2

Green Car Congress

The NEMESIS2+ hydrogen generation system consists of a desulfurization module for liquid feedstock (diesel/biodiesel) followed by a reformer module, where catalytic conversion is accomplished by steam reforming with subsequent water-gas-shift reaction. This figure is already close to the economic efficiency of the prototype. Source: DLR.

High-density renewable jet fuel from eucalyptus

Green Car Congress

Cyclic hydrocarbons are molecular compounds with structures that can store high levels of energy. Herein, we design a novel biphasic tandem catalysis process (biTCP) aiming to highly efficiently convert terpenoids to cycloalkanes. Spain, Brian J. A paper on the work is published in the journal Green Chemistry. Terpenoids (e.g.,

New ceramic membrane generates compressed H2 from methane and electricity with near-zero energy loss

Green Car Congress

A team of scientists from CoorsTek Membrane Sciences, the University of Oslo (Norway) and the Instituto de Tecnología Química (Spain) have successfully completed laboratory testing of a ceramic membrane that generates compressed hydrogen from natural gas and electricity in a one-step process with near-zero energy loss.

Manchester team proposing graphene-based ballistic rectifier for waste heat recovery

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Manchester (UK) have developed a graphene-based nano-rectifier (“ballistic rectifier”) that can convert waste heat to electricity. Conventional devices with similar conversion efficiencies require cryogenically low temperatures. In 2012, a team from the US, Spain and Sweden (Matthews et al.

Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 team unveils 2014 challenger and PU106A Hybrid Power Unit; new fuel and lubricants

Green Car Congress

The Mercedes AMG PETRONAS (Petroliam Nasional Berhad) Formula One Team unveiled the F1 W05, its 2014 challenger, at the Circuito de Jerez in southern Spain. The fundamental challenge is to convert as much of the chemical energy in the fuel, into mechanical energy, as efficiently as possible at the prescribed flow rate.
