Three-part catalyst study advances conversion of CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

An international collaboration of scientists has taken a significant step toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that can efficiently convert CO 2 and hydrogen into ethanol. None of the three components examined in the study is able to individually catalyze the CO 2 -to-ethanol conversion, nor can they in pairs.

SEMA sponsors ZEV conversion rebate bill in California; up to $2,000 rebate

Green Car Congress

The bill envisions a Zero-Emission Aftermarket Conversion Project (ZACP) that will allocate up to $2 million annually for the rebates. However, none of these programs assist with ZEV conversions of internal-combustion engine vehicles. ZEV conversions are a rapidly growing market, SEMA said.
