Berkeley Lab releases 8th edition of databook on China’s energy and environment; finding the “missing” energy consumption

Green Car Congress

They used a lot more coal than they originally admitted to, several hundred million tons more. Like many other people, we were writing articles around 2000 about the decline in China’s energy consumption in the late 1990s. Like the United States, China has become among the world’s largest importers of oil, gas and coal.

Researchers Propose Solar-Driven Biomass Gasification Pathway for Synthetic Fuel Production

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen for reverse water gas shift reaction to avoid producing CO 2 during the process is produced by electrolyzing water, driven by solar power. For comparison, they also modeled the production of methanol using only biomass as a fuel and also using coal as source of both carbon and energy. Hertwich and Zhang (2009).

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This research article focuses on a highly favored route to the synthesis of controlled nanostructures at high rate, high yield, and low cost by molten carbonate electrolysis. Pulverized coal is often used as the flame fuel, and fuel is also added to heat and drive the calciner and preheaters.

Kyoto team develops two-stage process for direct liquefaction of low-rank coal and biomass under mild conditions

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Kyoto University in Japan have proposed a novel two-stage process to convert low-rank coals or biomass wastes under mild conditions to high-quality liquid fuel. Also, liquefying high-oxygen content low-ranking coal and biomass also consumes more hydrogen and produces more CO 2 , significantly reducing process efficiency.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference Nº 2. Conclusions. slow charge.
