United announces investment in, commercial agreement with Dimensional Energy; CO2-to-SAF

Green Car Congress

Dimensional Energy was founded in Ithaca, New York, in 2016 and has spent the last six years refining its reactors and catalysts in both lab and real-world demonstrations. Dimensional has also received grants from the National Science Foundation and both the Department of Energy’s ARPA-e and Solar Energy Technology Office (SETO).

Joule and Red Rock Biofuels intend to merge; solar fuels plus biomass F-T

Green Car Congress

The company is poised to begin construction of its first refinery located in Lakeview, Oregon in early 2016. The project is supported by a $70-million grant from the U.S. I am very proud to have been part of this important transformation of Joule, which will now significantly speed up our commercialization.

Researchers convert atmospheric CO2 to carbon nanofibers and nanotubes for use as anodes in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The conversion process builds upon the solar thermal electro-chemical process (STEP) introduced by GWU Professor Stuart Licht and his colleagues in 2009. In short, STEP uses solar thermal energy to increase the system temperature to decrease electrolysis potentials. Earlier post.) 5b00400.

Harvard “bionic leaf 2.0” exceeds efficiency of photosynthesis in nature; hydrogen and liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

Dubbed “bionic leaf 2.0,” the new system builds on previous work by Nocera, Silver and others ( earlier post ), which—though it was capable of using solar energy to make isopropanol—faced a number of challenges.

Researchers show mixotrophic fermentation process improves carbon conversion, boosting yields and reducing CO2

Green Car Congress

To avoid CO 2 emissions associated with H2-production, electrolysis of water powered by solar, wind or hydroelectricity would be a preferred source and has achieved a level of maturity and success. Alternatively, syngas can be added to sugar fermentation to provide the necessary reducing power and carbon. … Jones, Alan G. Fast, Ellinor D.
