GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at George Washington University led by Prof. The focus of their study was the theoretical calculations of greenhouse gas CO 2 reductions using CNT composite structural materials when formed with CNTs made from CO 2 , rather than conventional high-CO 2 -emissive production techniques such as CVD.

USDA awarding $136M to five major research projects focused in part on developing cellulosic drop-in aviation fuels

Green Car Congress

University partners from the states of Washington, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Iowa will lead the projects, which focus in part on developing aviation biofuels from tall grasses, crop residues and forest resources. The team will also evaluate a co-product—bio-char—as a soil amendment to increase carbon sequestration.
