Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

The process for synthesizing the melamine material, published in an open-access paper in the journal Science Advances , could potentially be scaled down to capture emissions from vehicle exhaust or other movable sources of carbon dioxide. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely.

Lux Research: fuel cell vehicles lag other drivetrains in terms of cost of ownership; ICE and HEV lowest cost

Green Car Congress

Based on an analysis of various cost of ownership scenarios for various drivetrains, including internal combustion engine (ICE) gasoline and diesel; hybrid (HEV); battery-electric (EV); plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV); and fuel cell vehicles, Lux Research concludes that fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) are “ solidly in a laggard position. ”.

NGen Canada awarding $76M to 15 zero-emission vehicle projects

Green Car Congress

In 2021, Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen) launched a call for proposals to support R&D projects for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) manufacturing, systems, components, and batteries in Canada. However, the cost of producing MEAs is high and the durability is often poor. Pilot line for novel Li-ion thermal management solution.
