Navigator CO2 to provide ~600k TPA of CO2 as a feedstock for ultra-low carbon Infinium eFuels

Green Car Congress

Heartland Greenway system map Infinium eFuels are created using CO 2 that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere and renewable power-derived green hydrogen. Ultra-low carbon eFuels contain no sulfur and are cleaner-burning than petroleum-based fuels.

WUSTL researchers demonstrate solar-panel-powered microbial electrosynthesis to produce n-butanol from light, CO2 and power

Green Car Congress

A team of biologists and engineers modified Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 (TIE-1) so that it can produce a biofuel using only three renewable and naturally abundant source ingredients: carbon dioxide, solar panel-generated electricity and light. The results are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Communications Biology.
