Electric or hydrogen cars – which makes more sense for NZ?

Drive Electric

As New Zealand embraces the urgent need for a sustainable future, the automotive industry plays a vital role in shaping how we move and consume energy. What are Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles? Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) use Hydrogen to generate electricity, producing only water vapour as a byproduct.

Aquaflow signs cooperation agreement with CRI Catalyst Company to develop renewable fuels from algae and multi-biomass stock using IH2 catalytic pyrolysis

Green Car Congress

Participants in GTI’s project included Cargill, Johnston Timber, Aquaflow, Blue Marble Energy, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Michigan Technological University. GTI says that renewable gasoline (RG) produced by the IH 2 process results in more than 90% lower greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum-based fuels.

Global Bioenergies and LanzaTech to collaborate to assess the bioproduction of isobutene from carbon monoxide

Green Car Congress

In a paper earlier this year describing a new mixed oxide catalyst for the direct conversion of bio-ethanol to isobutene, researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) noted that trimerization of isobutene produces tri-isobutenes, which can be used as an additive for jet fuel.

NREL report estimates gasoline produced from biomass could cost about the same as ethanol

Green Car Congress

A new report from the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) concludes that gasoline produced via the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) route ( earlier post ) using syngas from a 2,000 dry metric tonne/day (2,205 US ton/day) biomass-fed facility could have a plant gate price (PGP) of $1.95/gallon
