Cummins progressing with lightweight downsized T2B2 diesel for pickup; 40% improvement in fuel economy over gasoline V8

Green Car Congress

In 2013, the Cummins-led team demonstrated a Tier 2 Bin 5 version of the engine on the dyno, and then on a vehicle, while development of the Tier 2 Bin 2 engine started. The HC/NO x release temperature in a cold start catalyst is high enough that the released HC/NO x can be further converted by the downstream catalytic components.

MAN prefers “power-to-gas” as an alternative to new power lines

Green Car Congress

Power-to-gas, or e-gas as Audi calls it, converts surplus electricity into synthetic natural gas and utilizes the existing gas infrastructure. Alternatively, it is also possible to convert it back into electricity with the aid of gas power stations. Direct use can be made of natural gas in homes or to drive vehicles.

Thüga Group begins construction of power-to-gas demonstration plant in Frankfurt

Green Car Congress

The basic concept of power-to-gas (or e-Gas, as Audi calls it), is to “store” excess renewable electricity by producing hydrogen, which can then either be converted to methane; injected into the gas distribution grid directly; or used as a vehicle fuel. The municipal gas distribution networks can manage these quantities in principle.

Yeast engineered to co-consume xylose and acetic acid boosts cellulosic ethanol yield by 10%

Green Car Congress

Now, researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and UC Berkeley have engineered yeast to convert cellulosic sugars and toxic levels of acetate together into ethanol under anaerobic conditions. Acetic acid is toxic to fermenting microorganisms and negatively influences sugar fermentation and biofuel yields. cerevisiae.
