GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers at George Washington University led by Dr. Stuart Licht have demonstrated the first facile high-yield, low-energy synthesis of macroscopic length carbon nanotubes (CNTs)—carbon nanotube wool—from CO 2 using molten carbonate electrolysis ( earlier post ). —Johnson et al.

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at George Washington University led by Prof. The focus of their study was the theoretical calculations of greenhouse gas CO 2 reductions using CNT composite structural materials when formed with CNTs made from CO 2 , rather than conventional high-CO 2 -emissive production techniques such as CVD.

PNNL IntelliVent system reduces risk of explosions in outdoor battery cabinets

Green Car Congress

And, if extinguishment is needed, we can direct the water right at the modules from a safe distance. The Snohomish County Public Utility District’s new Arlington Microgrid and Clean Energy Center, in Everett, Washington, will be the first to install the safety technology when it retrofits a 1.2 MW battery with the IntelliVent system.

Scientists recommend fundamental research into separations technology to support large-scale thermochemical production of biofuels

Green Car Congress

Separations play a critical role in biofuel production and that fundamental research in the are, including the identification of transformative approaches, is needed to generate separation technologies that will enable larger-scale production, according to a report on a workshop convened earlier this year by the National Science Foundation.

Nissan developing electric vehicles powered by ethanol-fueled solid oxide fuel cells; commercialization in 2020

Green Car Congress

The new e-Bio Fuel Cell system—a world-first for automotive use—features an an SOFC stack and an on-board reformer to convert 100% ethanol or ethanol-blended water (55% water, 45% ethanol) to hydrogen. Nissan’s e-Bio Fuel Cell system produces hydrogen from ethanol or ethanol-water blends through the on-board reformer.
