Stanford/DTU team devises new effective solid-oxide electrochemical cell for CO2 electrolysis

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Stanford University and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have engineered and demonstrated a solid-oxide electrochemical cell (SOC) with a porous ceria electrode that achieves stable and selective CO 2 electrolysis beyond the thermodynamic carbon deposition threshold. A paper on the work is published in Nature Energy.

JATO: new car average CO2 emissions highest in Europe since 2014; slow EV uptake insufficient to counter fewer diesels and more SUVs

Green Car Congress

In addition to the European car market recording tepid growth in 2019, CO 2 emissions have continued to increase, despite new regulation designed to curtail this, according to JATO Dynamics. Four of the five major markets in Europe posted higher averages in 2019 than in 2018. g/km of CO 2 in 2019, 14.3 —Felipe Munoz.
