All-in-one solar-powered tower makes carbon-neutral kerosene in the field at pilot-scale

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Europe led by a team from ETH Zurich have designed a fuel production system that uses water, CO 2 , and sunlight to produce aviation fuel. We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain from water and CO 2 to kerosene in a fully-integrated solar tower system. Zoller et al. —Aldo Steinfeld.

Rheinmetall wins new order worth around €300M for exhaust gas recirculation modules

Green Car Congress

In the low-pressure loop, these are water-cooled poppet valves. The systems consist of an aluminum housing and a bypass with a fully integrated water-cooling circuit. Part of the actuators will be produced at the Pierburg plant in Abadiano, Spain, with the company’s Berlin plant supplying the electric bypass actuators.

PEUGEOT estimates it will assemble up to 10,000 batteries per month for cars, 7,000 for LCVs by next year

Green Car Congress

A proper seal will prevent water or dirt from getting inside the battery cells and compromising its lifecycle or performance. The dedicated battery assembly workshops are in five plants of the Stellantis Group: Vigo & Saragossa (Spain), Trnava (Slovakia), Sochaux & Mulhouse (France) and soon Hordain (France).

Synhelion raises CHF 22M (US$23.6M) to support scaling of solar fuel production

Green Car Congress

Synhelion has developed a solar thermal process for the production of syngas, which is then used in standard industrial processes to synthesize liquid fuels, such as kerosene, gasoline, or diesel, that are compatible with conventional jet engines and internal combustion engines. This ultra-clean solar fuel closes the carbon cycle.

UBC engineers use fiber from recycled tires to develop more resilient concrete

Green Car Congress

University of British Columbia (UBC) engineers have used polymeric scrap tire fibers (STF) to develop a more resilient type of concrete that could be used for concrete structures such as buildings, roads, dams and bridges, while reducing landfill waste. A paper on the work is published in the journal Materials and Structures. STF and 0.3%
