Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Earlier post.) 5b00400.

The resulting new standards will cover model years 2012-2016, and will require an average fuel economy standard of 35.5 mpg in 2016 (39 mpg for cars, 30 mpg for trucks), or approximately 250 grams CO 2 /mile. The proposal under consideration would also include a harmonized CAFE standard for MY 2016. Air conditioning credits.

This guided them in successfully engineering the new strain of yeast that not only shows resistance to ionic liquids but also improves sugar conversion and biofuel production. Since removing residual ionic liquid after deconstruction is an added step incurring added expense, the new strain by itself could lower the costs of making biofuels.

Significant tax incentives encourage the conversion of trucks and heavy-duty fleets to natural gas vehicles. Industrial sources will not enter the program until 2016. In 2016, energy-intensive and trade-exposed industries receive allowances to offset both their direct and indirect compliance costs.
