GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. Molten carbonate electrosynthesized boron-doped CNTs exhibit high electrical conductivity. Until recently, CNTs had not been produced at low energies, nor had they been produced in high yield from CO 2.

Oregon Governor Signs Climate Change Bills, Including Low Carbon Fuel Standard and B2

Green Car Congress

Authorizes the Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) to develop a low carbon fuel standard that would sunset in 2015. Expands reporting requirements for greenhouse gas emissions to imported electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuel and will allow state to better track amount of greenhouse gases emitted in Oregon.

NRC report concludes US LDVs could cut oil consumption and GHGs by 80% by 2050; reliance on plug-ins, biofuels and hydrogen; strong policies mandatory

Green Car Congress

Light-duty vehicles (LDVs) in the US may be able to reduce petroleum use by 50% by 2030, and by 80% by 2050; and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by 2050, according to the newly published results of a two-year study by a committee convened by the National Research Council.
