JEC updates well-to-wheels study on automotive fuels and powertrains; electro-mobility, natural gas and biofuels

Green Car Congress

Source: EUR 26236 EN - 2014 Click to enlarge. It adds an assessment of electrically chargeable vehicle configurations, such as plug-in hybrid, range extended, battery and fuel-cell electric vehicles. It also introduces an update of natural gas pathways, taking into account the addition of a European shale gas pathway.

5 Big Ideas for High-Temperature Superconductors

Cars That Think

In 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes plunged a mercury wire into liquid helium and noticed that the wire’s electrical resistance vanished. It refers to materials that superconduct above −195.79 °C, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. tesla magnetic field in 2014. The wire had become a “superconductor.”

How Self-Driving Cars Will Accelerate Electric Vehicle Adoption

Green Car Congress

Over the last two decades, fully electric cars have had, let’s say, a slow start. But things are looking up for electric. Plus, battery costs are rapidly decreasing and the public is warming up to the idea of electric cars. Electric Vehicles: Right Now. Another hot topic in the auto world is autonomous rides.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

AQDSH 2 refers to the reduced form of AQDS. Quinones are naturally abundant, inexpensive, small organic molecules, and similar to molecules that store energy in plants and animals. Flow batteries store energy in chemical fluids contained in external tanks, as with fuel cells, instead of within the battery container itself.

Total hydrogen station in Munich first to feature standard compressed H2 and BMW cryo-compressed H2 technology

Green Car Congress

Cryo-compressed hydrogen storage, being developed by the BMW Group based on its long experience with cryogenic storage, involves storing gaseous hydrogen at low temperature on board the vehicle at a pressure of up to 350 bar. From a 2010 paper by BMW and Lawrence Livermore researchers describing CCH 2 technology. Resources. Petitpas, P.

Sandia study finds more California gas stations could provide H2 than previously thought; NFPA 2 code

Green Car Congress

A study by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories concludes that a number of existing gas stations in California can safely store and dispense hydrogen, suggesting a broader network of hydrogen fueling stations may be within reach. The study determined that 14 of the 70 gas stations—i.e., Click to enlarge.
