Stanford researchers make ammonia from air and water microdroplets

Green Car Congress

Stanford researchers, with a colleague from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, have developed a simple and environmentally sound way to make ammonia with tiny droplets of water and nitrogen from the air. The conversion rate reaches 32.9 ± 1.38 Water microdroplets are the hydrogen source for N 2 in contact with Fe 3 O 4.

Blue Biofuels achieves full conversion (99%+) of cellulosic material to sugars on repeatable basis

Green Car Congress

reports that it has achieved full conversion ( 99% + ) of king grass cellulosic material to water soluble sugars on a repeatable basis. This conversion occurs with a reaction time of less than one minute. Full conversion is the most efficient use of the feedstock possible and exceeds earlier projections.

SOLAR-JET project demonstrates solar-driven thermochemical conversion of CO2 and water to jet fuel

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded SOLAR-JET project has demonstrated the production of aviation kerosene from concentrated sunlight, CO 2 captured from air, and water. The process has also the potential to produce any other type of fuel for transport applications, such as diesel, gasoline or pure hydrogen in a more sustainable way.

Purem by Eberspaecher introduces efficient exhaust technology for hydrogen engines

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen engines have potential as a drive type with CO 2 -neutral fuel, especially for heavy-load transport and in off-highway vehicles. In addition, the metered addition of the urea-water solution can cause particles to form. The H 2 -ICE exhaust system for hydrogen engines from Purem by Eberspaecher.
