DME is synthesized from methanol, whether produced from coal, natural gas or biomass such as harvested forestry wastes. Chemrec pioneered the Fuels-from-the-Forest biofuels biorefinery concept, which can produce BioDME. The other, a commercial-scale plant, is to be in production in 2012. Earlier post.).

CHrysler’s current research efforts include various strategies to warm engines and transmissions faster; to have the vehicles run at an ideal set point; and to recapture waste heat. In 2012, 26 percent of our vehicles incorporated a 4-cylinder engine, as compared to 24 percent in 2011 and 19 percent in 2010. Transmissions.

Diesel Brewing’s process gasifies wood wastes, agricultural residues and manure into a syngas that is cleaned and fed into a catalytic reactor and purification system to generate a suite of alcohols containing butanol, ethanol and methanol. We don’t want to merely make electric power from these waste products.

Researchers at the University of Manchester (UK) have developed a graphene-based nano-rectifier (“ballistic rectifier”) that can convert waste heat to electricity. In 2012, a team from the US, Spain and Sweden (Matthews et al. The resulting device is the most sensitive room-temperature rectifier ever made, the researchers said.

Aircraft are currently required to use their main propulsion jet engines in a highly inefficient manner for slow speed ground movements; the consequence is greater local air and noise pollution, as well as wasted fuel and hence increased carbon emissions. Ricardo has been working for the past 15 months with IAI to develop the Taxibot concept.

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. But use of petroleum will continue.

A report issued today by the National Research Council recommends that the US set a measurable domestic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions budget in the range of 170 to 200 gigatons of CO 2 -equivalent (eq) for the period 2012 through 2050. Carbon pricing alone, however, is not enough to sufficiently reduce domestic emissions, the report warns.

GM says it is already looking ahead to the next generation of Volt-based vehicles — it unveiled the Cadillac Converj concept in January — and says costs will come down as the technology spreads to more models. It is 12 years later.
