Renault Trucks’ Optifuel Lab 2 lab vehicle integrates technologies for more efficient big rigs; road test results coming in 2015

Green Car Congress

These figures will be announced during the first quarter of 2015. We therefore electrically powered several of the vehicle’s auxiliary items of equipment such as the air-conditioning, water pump, fuel pump and the steering pump. The more energy there is available at low cost, the more it will be used.

DOE Selects Two SOFC Projects to Move Into Next SECA Phase

Green Car Congress

The selections were based upon an assessment of demonstrated progress in developing high-performance, low-cost SOFC technology. Condensing the steam results in a pure stream of CO 2 gas, which can be captured for storage or other use in a central location.

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.
