IEA: nuclear power can play a major role in transition to low emissions energy systems; Russia, China leading on new reactor starts

Green Car Congress

In countries that choose to continue or increase their use of nuclear power, it can reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, cut carbon dioxide emissions and enable electricity systems to integrate higher shares of solar and wind power. —IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.

NREL researchers capture excess photon energy to produce solar fuels; higher efficiency water-splitting for H2

Green Car Congress

The advancement could significantly boost the production of hydrogen from sunlight by using the cell to split water at a higher efficiency and lower cost than current photoelectrochemical approaches. The major difference here is that we captured that MEG enhancement in a chemical bond rather than just in the electrical current.

Energy researchers: clean US hydrogen economy is within reach, but needs a game plan

Green Car Congress

Addressing climate change requires not only a clean electrical grid, but also a clean fuel to reduce emissions from industrial heat, long-haul heavy transportation, and long-duration energy storage. An H 2 economy already exists, but it involves lots of greenhouse gas emissions. John Deutch, an emeritus Institute Professor at MIT.

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. The electrolysis occurs at low electrical energy and high coulombic efficiency ($4 Faraday per mole CO 2 ). Licht (2017).
