IndianOil and LanzaTech to construct first refinery Offgas-to-Bioethanol production facility

Green Car Congress

LanzaTech’s first commercial facility converting waste emissions from steel production to ethanol will come online in China in late 2017. LanzaTech has developed a gas fermentation process based on biological catalysts to make fuels and chemicals from a range of waste gases instead of sugars and yeast.

GM and IBM bring OnStar and Watson together for new cognitive mobility platform: OnStar Go

Green Car Congress

Starting in early 2017, OnStar is expected to give millions of GM drivers the ability to connect and interact with their favorite brands. These capabilities will be available in more than two million 4G LTE connected vehicles and millions of GM vehicle brand app-enabled mobile devices in the US by the end of 2017.

DOE issues FOA for up to $4M for development of advanced H2 storage systems and materials

Green Car Congress

Most of the hydrogen that is used today is stored as a compressed gas (with pressures typically ranging from 150 to 700 bar) or a liquid (liquid storage requires cryogenic temperatures near 20 K). For 2017, the targets are 1.8 kWh/L (40 g H 2 /L); and $12/kWh ($400/kg H 2 stored). kWh/kg (5.5 kWh/kg (7.5 Click to enlarge.

List of The Best 10 Alternative Fuels for Cars that Could Replace Gasoline

Get Electric Vehicle

Even though compressed air results no air pollution, its inefficiency in conversion and low energy density makes it less competitive. An Electric battery stores the energy that required to propel the vehicle and the electric vehicle converts electric energy stored in the battery to mechanical energy using electric motors.

MIT researchers develop oxygen permeable membrane that converts CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

The energy input needed to keep the process going, Wu says, is heat, which could be provided by solar energy or by waste heat, some of which could come from the power plant itself and some from other sources. Essentially, the process makes it possible to store that heat in chemical form, for use whenever it’s needed. and Ghoniem, A.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars?

The HiUCV is targeted to halve the overall carbon emissions per tonne of waste collected of current best-in-class Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) in the urban environment. A hydrogen fuel cell version of the van is due to be launched in 2017. VIPER will show how a reduction in CO 2 emissions of 4.5%
