Projects to be funded include: Ultra Lightweight Gas Turbine Range Extender for Electric Vehicles. Total project cost is £2,206,784, with the TSB providing £1,103,392. The small size, multi-fuel capability and potential low cost of the ULRE could also help speed adoption of electric vehicles. Title Partners.

Sugar Fuel Cell Vehicles and BEVs charged with electricity from a fuel cell (green bars) were the most efficient. An ethanol HEV-gas system would double η BTW values to 14–18%, suggesting the importance of developing hybrid electric vehicles based on available liquid fuel distribution system. Conceptual sugar-to-electricity system.

In Germany, renewable electricity generation will be 35 percent by 2020, and 50 percent by 2050. Why then do we not have the same clarity of goal for the electricity generating industry here in the USA? The same can be said for the electricity companies that generate power in the USA. EIA projections of renewables penetration.

Soot—black and brown particles that absorb solar radiation—comes from two types of sources: fossil fuels such as diesel, coal, gasoline, jet fuel; and solid biofuels such as wood, manure, dung, and other solid biomass used for home heating and cooking around the world. Particle traps filter out soot particles from exhaust fumes.

The system looks about like a small inline gasoline engine, you could even put it into a sedan. In 2007, GM took fuel cell development activity out of R&D and moved it over to GM Powertrain, along with 500 scientists and engineers. It’s pretty tightly packaged and integrated. Charles Freese.

Within the US electric power sector the biggest question was whether the Production Tax Credits (PTC) were going to be extended beyond 2008. It is not how can we get low cost capital to take more risk.
