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.,

Study finds autothermal reforming with WGS reactor preferred option for on-board reforming of biodiesel and bioethanol

Green Car Congress

A study by a team at the German Aerospace Center (Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR) identified autothermal reforming in combination with a water gas shift reactor as the preferred option for on-board reforming of biodiesel and bioethanol into a hydrogen-rich gas suitable for high temperature PEM (HTPEM) fuel cells.

DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. These efforts aim to design initial engineering studies to develop technologies to capture CO 2 generated as a byproduct of manufacturing at industrial sites.
