Greyrock, NREL study determines reduction in GHG and criteria pollutant emissions from using synthetic fuels produced from flare gas

Green Car Congress

The results of this open-access study are published in the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering. A Greyrock Flare Gas-to-Fuels conversion process at an Ohio oil well was used as the base case for this LCA. These clean mobility solutions may be realized without any changes to existing automotive infrastructure.

Study finds carbon capture & storage could be financial opportunity for conventional ethanol plants

Green Car Congress

A promising class of technologies for carbon dioxide removal is known as bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS), which involves the capture and permanent sequestration of biogenic CO 2 produced during energy conversion. The role for CO 2 removal envisioned in stringent climate change mitigation scenarios cannot be overstated.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Fuel cells had been promoted in some sectors as the best alternative to the internal combustion engine. 2018) Where Are We Heading With Electric Vehicles?
