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.

Paper Batteries, Blue Quantum Dots, and Other Enabling Technologies from CES 2023

Cars That Think

Here, in no particular order, are four such enabling technologies I spotted at CES 2023. Briefly, in the now-ubiquitous QLED technology, quantum dots are used to improve color quality by tuning light to precise wavelengths. If and when such technology shows up on retail shelves is up to TV manufacturers.

Researchers propose using AC and ventilation systems for decentralized production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of Toronto have proposed a method enabling air conditioning and ventilation systems to produce synthetic fuels from CO 2 and water from the ambient air. The synthesized hydrocarbon fuels can be stored and/or transported for further utilization.
