MARCH 22, 2019

Audi has put a new service-water supply center into operation at the Ingolstadt site. In this way, Audi will saves up to 500,000 cubic meters of fresh water each year. The heart of the service-water supply center is a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The heart of the service-water supply center is a membrane bioreactor (MBR).

Study: 2/3 of aviation climate impact due to emissions other than CO2

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 6, 2020

In the new study, we have analyzed 20 years of aviation emissions, up until and including 2018. Net positive RF (warming) contributions arise from CO 2 , water vapor, NO x , and soot emissions, and from contrail cirrus (consisting of linear contrails and the cirrus cloudiness arising from them). For 2018 the net aviation ERF is +100.9

The main reason for this is the high degree of drag between hull and water, which constantly slows the ship down. The water velocity at the surface boundary layer is zero. (b) b) An air layer functions as slip agent, the water velocity at the interface is larger than zero, drag is reduced. Busch et al. Resources. Barthlott, M.

Researchers develop efficient single-atom Ni catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

MARCH 2, 2018

While Ni metal catalyzes the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) exclusively under CO 2 RR conditions, Ni single atomic sites present a high CO selectivity of 95% under an overpotential of 550 mV in water, and an excellent stability over 20 hours’ continuous electrolysis. The current density can be scaled up to more than 50 mA cm?2

Some of the CO is taken out of the syngas (rejected) by converting it to CO 2 , in a process called the water-gas shift. The CO 2 that was previously released in this stage can now be removed in the preceding water-gas shift stage. Hensen (2018) “Synthesis of stable and low-CO 2 selective ?-iron

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

Green Car Congress

APRIL 24, 2018

Ethanol production is one of the least costly known applications of CO2 capture and, to date, the cost of capturing CO2 has been cited as one of the major barriers to CCS. Fermentation also produces a high-concentration (99%) gaseous CO 2 stream consisting only of CO 2 , water and small amounts of organic and sulfur compounds.

To put it another way, instead of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity, these two components are joined to make water and electricity The electricity is then utilized to power the car’s drive train, leaving just water as a waste product.

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. Second, while hydrogen can be otherwise produced through the electrolysis of water, this process requires huge amounts of clean and fresh water – a vital and highly valuable commodity of life that can’t be wasted.
