Chalmers team develops method to reduce levels of mercury in sulfuric acid

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a method that can reduce the levels of mercury in sulfuric acid by more than 90%, even from low levels. The experiments in the study were performed in a lab environment, in a 50-milliliter beaker and subsequently in a 20-liter reactor.

Study comparing crash risk of EU and US vehicles indicates differences in performance

Green Car Congress

To answer this question, it was necessary to separate risk from exposure because EU and US drivers drive in different environments. For the crashworthiness analysis, we represented risk (of injury in a particular crash) using a statistical model that could be applied to different environments. —Flannagan et al.

Lund researchers develop optimized two-phase enzymatic process for production of biodiesel

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Lund University (Sweden) have developed an optimized two-phase enzymatic (lipase) system for the conversion of plant oils to biodiesel. For that reason, two-phase reaction media seem to be the most suitable environment for these particular enzymes. —Mangas-Sánchez and Adlercreutz.

Researchers engineer first low-methane-emission, high-starch rice; benefits for GHG control, food and bioenergy

Green Car Congress

Now, however, with the addition of a single gene from barley (SUSIBA2), a team of researchers in China, Sweden and the US has engineered a strain of rice—now named SUSIBA2—that can be cultivated to emit virtually no methane from its paddies during growth. Resources. Jansson, F. Schnurer, C.
