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

Cars That Think

Within this enigmatic fourth state of matter, atoms that have been stripped of their electrons collide, their nuclei fusing and releasing energy in the same process that powers the sun and other stars. Fusion reactions have powered the sun since it formed an estimated 4.6 The problem isn’t whether fusion can work.

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.

NREL report estimates gasoline produced from biomass could cost about the same as ethanol

Green Car Congress

Very broadly, the biomass-to-gasoline (BTG) process assessed in the NREL report gasifies biomass to produce a syngas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Heat & Power. This syngas is then converted into methanol, and the methanol is converted to gasoline using the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process first developed by Exxon Mobil.
