Scientists led by a team at Caltech and BP, and in collaboration with researchers at UCLA, ETH Zürich, and China’s Nanjing University, have developed a new method for potentially removing nearly all sulfur compounds (down to ~2 ppm) from gas and diesel fuel. A paper on their work is published in the journal Nature Energy. Betz, Erik P.

Theoretically, cars operating on higher ethanol blends than the design point could emit greater concentrations of pollutants in exhaust gas. In the cylinder where combustion takes place, the fuel evaporates before it is burned, and this evaporation helps cool off the air/fuel mixture and exhaust gas.

kilowatt-hour lithium-ion polymer battery is replenished through plug-in charging, which is no different than what you do with your mobile phone every night. When driving, the regenerative system converts kinetic energy into electric energy and stores it in the battery when applying the brakes or coasting. Your numbers may differ.

The first hydrogen TTO is focused on durable, high activity electrocatalyst with low platinum content and low cost for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell applications. Conventional polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology requires high content of platinum electrocatalyst, which raises manufacturing costs.

Thermal energy is of greatest value—that is, has the highest available work or ‘exergy’—when it can be transported, stored and converted at the highest possible temperatures. Even in cases where high-temperature fluids are used, such as gas turbines and rocket engines, the pumps and compressors are not operated at high temperatures.
