Stanford team develops new ultrahigh surface area 3D porous graphitic carbon material for improved energy storage

Green Car Congress

While some specially designed 3D porous graphene networks show good pore connectivity and conductivity, large-scale and low-cost fabrication of such graphene networks remains a challenge. The general strategy toward the above-mentioned graphene networks is to use graphene oxides (GOs) as building blocks. —To et al.

Delivery of renewable isooctane to Audi tips interesting potential non-biomass pathway for biogasoline; “e-benzin” as solar fuel

Green Car Congress

This proprietary novel gas fermentation technology converts the carbon monoxide-containing waste gases emitted by blast furnace, coke oven and BOF (basic oxygen furnace) operations into low-cost ethanol and high-value chemicals. So here our isobutene would allow us to integrate this very cheap fossil component into the fuel.

New Rutgers non-noble metal catalyst for hydrogen evolution performs as well as Pt in both acid and base

Green Car Congress

Currently, renewable hydrogen may be produced from water by electrolysis with either low efficiency alkaline electrolyzers that suffer 50–65% losses, or by more efficient acidic electrolyzers using expensive rare platinum group metal catalysts (Pt). Our new HER catalyst, Ni 5 P 4 , has the strong potential to overcome this challenge.

For Better or Worse, Tesla Bot Is Exactly What We Expected

Cars That Think

For some context on what you’re about to see, a brief callback to a year ago last August, when I predicted what was in store for 2022: It’s possible, even likely, that Tesla will build some sort of Tesla Bot by sometime next year, as Musk says. And it is expected to cost much less than a car—much less than $20,000 would be my guess.

Electric Car Makers: Oregon Wants You - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

In a flurry of electric vehicle activity, three back-to-back announcements this week have placed a spotlight on Oregon’s plans to be the friendliest state in the nation in which to build, sell and buy electric cars. So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

In 2015–expanded to emissions from residential, commercial, and other industrial combustion, and transportation fuels. In 2015–nearly 90% of emissions. Emitters will generally consider their costs of reducing emissions to the level required by their current holdings of allowances, and compare this with the market price of allowances.
