ASU and Argonne researchers report progress on artificial leaf for solar conversion of water to H2 and O2

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Arizona State University and Argonne National Laboratory reported advances toward perfecting a functional artificial leaf in a paper in Nature Chemistry. The researchers took a closer look at how nature had overcome a related problem in the part of the photosynthetic process where water is oxidized to yield oxygen.

Global companies form below50 to scale up low-carbon sustainable fuels; Audi in from automotive sector

Green Car Congress

A key outcome of the Low Carbon Technology Partnerships initiative ( LCTPi ), below50 is intended to grow a global corporate market for sustainable low-carbon transport fuels (LCTFs). Any company which produces, uses and/or invests in fuels that are at least 50% less carbon intensive than conventional fossil fuels can join below50.

DOE awards $18M to six projects for algae-based biofuels; targeting <$5/gge

Green Car Congress

Algal biomass can be converted to advanced biofuels that offer promising alternatives to petroleum-based diesel and jet fuels. However, barriers related to algae cultivation, harvesting, and conversion to fuels and products need to be overcome to achieve the Department’s target of $3/gge for advanced algal biofuels by 2030.
