Renewable wood-based biofuels for shipping

Green Car Congress

ReShip project will use low-quality wood waste, chippings and unmerchantable wood left in forests after logging has occurred for feedstock for the fast pyrolysis process. To counter this, ReShip researchers are looking to stabilize freshly produced pyrolysis biofuel through mild, rapid, low-temperature catalytic hydrogen treatment.

Green Cars Part 4- Compressed Air

DIY Electric Car

Conventional cars work by exploding fuel and air in a chamber to exert force on the pistons, but what if rather than using an explosion to provide that pressure on the piston, you just stored your ‘fuel’ at a constant high pressure. That’s the concept behind the air car , and it looks like a pretty promising technology.
