EPFL team develops on-board system to capture CO2 from trucks; reducing emissions by 90%

Green Car Congress

Researchers at EPFL have patented a new concept that could cut trucks’ CO 2 emissions by almost 90%. CO 2 is isolated from the other gases (nitrogen and oxygen) with a temperature swing adsorption (TSA) system, using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) adsorbent, which are specially designed to absorb CO 2. 2019.00143.

European Commission proposes 2030 ZEV target for new city buses, 90% CO2 reductions for new heavy trucks by 2040

Green Car Congress

The European Commission has proposed new CO 2 emissions targets for new heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) from 2030 onwards. To stimulate faster deployment of zero-emission buses in cities, the Commission also proposes to make all new city buses zero-emission as of 2030. very steep mountains) can still be non-zero emission vehicles.

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. Last year, the volume-weighted average CO 2 emissions for European markets were at their highest recorded levels since 2014.

Cambridge researchers develop standalone device that makes formic acid from sunlight, CO2 and water

Green Car Congress

Harvesting solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into fuel is a promising way to reduce carbon emissions and transition away from fossil fuels. In 2019, researchers from Reisner’s group developed a solar reactor based on an artificial leaf design, which also uses sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce a fuel, known as syngas.

ArcelorMittal Europe to produce “green steel” starting in 2020

Green Car Congress

ArcelorMittal Europe is developing a series of industrial-scale hydrogen projects for use in blast furnace-based steelmaking that will start to deliver substantial CO 2 emissions savings even within the next five years, as well as progressing a project to test the ability of hydrogen to reduce iron ore and form DRI on an industrial scale.
