SOLAR-JET project demonstrates solar-driven thermochemical conversion of CO2 and water to jet fuel

Green Car Congress

The process has also the potential to produce any other type of fuel for transport applications, such as diesel, gasoline or pure hydrogen in a more sustainable way. million), four-year SOLAR-JET project was launched in June 2011 and is receiving financial support (€2.2 by adjusting the feedstock H 2 O:CO 2 molar ratio from 0.8

CO2 reforming of DME as novel pathway for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

The experimental results show that CO 2 reforming of DME is feasible, and that onboard CO 2 reforming of dimethyl ether can be a novel route for hydrogen and CO production. The conversion of DME is 100% and the conversion of CO 2 is about 70%, while the selectivities of CO and H 2 exceed 60% and 70%, respectively, at 650 °C.

New LLNL technique for CO2 capture also produces green hydrogen and alkalinity to offset ocean acidification

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have discovered and demonstrated a new technique to remove and store atmospheric carbon dioxide while generating carbon-negative hydrogen and producing alkalinity, which can be used to offset ocean acidification. —Greg Rau.

LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

In 2011, LanzaTech announced that it had demonstrated the continuous fermentation of CO 2 in the presence of hydrogen to acetic acid, using their modified microorganisms. The hydrogen serves as the energy source in this case. that conversion wouldn’t actually happen in a LanzaTech bioreactor. Source: LanzaTech.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Proponents believe such a car could be easily refuelled with hydrogen and assumed it would have greater range than a pure all-electric car.
