Study suggests energy and GHG impacts of synthetic hydrocarbon fuels from CO2 are greater than impacts of existing hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

Their quantitative lifecycle assessment of the environmental merits of liquid hydrocarbon fuels produced from CO 2 , water and energy compared to alternative fuel production routes is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. R indicates reference alternatives not explicitly modeled in this study.

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.

Mercedes-AMG 2L, turbo four-cylinder pushes out up to 421 hp, 500 Nm

Green Car Congress

Fresh air is used in addition to oil and water to cool the turbocharger. liter V8 engines, starting with the AMG GT in 2014. Thanks to its good thermal conductivity, the water-cooled mould allows rapid cooling and solidification of the melt. A low-temperature circuit is also used for air/water intercooling.

Researchers develop rechargeable hybrid-seawater fuel cell; highly energy density, stable cycling

Green Car Congress

As described in an open access paper in the journal NPG Asia Materials , the system is an intermediate between a battery and a fuel cell, and is accordingly referred to as a hybrid fuel cell. The herein-reported device is an intermediate system between batteries and fuel cells and is thus referred to as a hybrid fuel cell. V from 1.88?V

New black silicon-supported catalyst for photoreduction of CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

The results, suggested the researchers, represent a step towards engineering broadband solar fuels tandem photothermal reactors that enable a three-step process involving: CO 2 capture; gaseous water splitting into H 2 ; and. Hydrogen generated from the water-splitting reaction can be provided to the Ru/SiNW catalysts. O’Brien P.

Up close and personal with Volkswagen’s e-Golf carbon offset project: Garcia River Forest

Green Car Congress

In 2014, Volkswagen of America announced that starting with the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions battery-electric 2015 e-Golf ( earlier post ), it would invest in projects to offset the carbon emissions created from the e-Golf on a full lifecycle basis: production, distribution and up to approximately 36,000 miles (57,936 km) of driving.

Better Carbon Sequestration With AI

Cars That Think

How and where can carbon dioxide be meaningfully captured, and how can it be stored, and where? And the second one is what’s usually referred to as CCS carbon capture and storage, is more carbon capture in an industrial setting where you extract or capture CO 2 from industrial flue gases. Obviously, it has to be safe.
