Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

The pursuit of energy production through nuclear fusion is considered by many to be the holy grail of clean energy. Fusion offers the prospect of a nearly limitless source of energy with no greenhouse gas emissions. According to the lab’s lore, Spitzer came up with the idea while riding a ski lift at Aspen Mountain in 1951.

Argonne study shows range of GHG reductions for electrofuel Fischer-Tropsch; up to 108% reduction

Green Car Congress

A team at Argonne National Laboratory’s Systems Assessment Center has evaluated the well-to-wheel (WTW) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Fischer–Tropsch (FT) fuels produced via various electrolytic H 2 pathways and CO 2 sources; using various process designs (i.e., Zang et al. —Zang et al. 0c05893.

UMass Amherst Licenses Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis Technology to Startup Anellotech to Produce Renewable Biogasoline

Green Car Congress

Using Huber’s rapid new catalytic pyrolysis technology, Anellotech has already demonstrated commercially relevant production not only of gasoline and biofuel precursors but of benzene, toluene and xylene in milligram and gram-scale bench-top reactors. Product selectivity is a function of the active site and pore structure of the catalyst.

Researchers propose CO2 recycling to improve Fischer-Tropsch GTL efficiency and reduce total CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

Researchers in South Korea are suggesting two new carbon-dioxide-utilized Gas-to-Liquids processes (CUGP) to increase the overall efficiency of conventional Fischer-Tropsch GTL. This results in a decrease in total CO 2 emissions to less than 5g CO 2 /MJ F-T product, compared to a range of 27.0 Overview of the CUGP processes.
