grams of carbon dioxide per kilometrer (g?CO CO 2 /km), according to the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) final data. Although this is below the EU fleet-wide target of 130 g CO 2 /km set for the period 2015-2019, it is well above the 2021 target of 95 g CO 2 /km, phased-in in 2020. Electric vehicles constituted 3.5%

WUSTL researchers demonstrate solar-panel-powered microbial electrosynthesis to produce n-butanol from light, CO2 and power

Green Car Congress

A team of biologists and engineers modified Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 (TIE-1) so that it can produce a biofuel using only three renewable and naturally abundant source ingredients: carbon dioxide, solar panel-generated electricity and light. Bai worked as a research assistant in the Bose lab in Arts & Sciences from 2015-2020.

EEA: All major car manufacturers in Europe met 2012 CO2 targets; 9 already meet 2015 targets

Green Car Congress

Based on emission levels recorded in vehicle tests, car registration data analyzed by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the report “CO 2 emissions performance of car manufacturers in 2012” shows that in 2012 all major car manufacturers met their targets for their fleet. Carbon emissions of the average car sold in the EU fell 2.6%

A metal-free, sustainable approach to CO2 reduction

Green Car Congress

However, most catalysts developed to date for this purpose have the disadvantage of containing metals that are expensive, not widely available and potentially detrimental to the environment. Representation of the process whereby formate salts serve as active and selective catalysts for the hydrosilylation of CO 2. doi: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.9b02172.
