Biofuels- paving the way for low carbon future in mobility – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Given the biogenic carbon capture of crops, Ethanol as a fuel has a much lower environmental impact than the traditional fossil fuels. The emissions further drop to ~70% if we consider 2G ethanol which is produced using farm waste. 3G is still in early stages of commercial deployment while 4G is still at a concept stage.

Volkswagen and Stanford University develop modified ALD process to increase Pt/C fuel cell catalyst efficiency, improve durability

Green Car Congress

The material is conventionally distributed as particles on carbon powder. However, the desired catalytic process only takes place on the surface of the platinum particles, which wastes large quantities of the cost-intensive material. —Xu et al. As a result, two-dimensional growth of Pt nanoparticles can be realized.
