New process uses localized surface plasmons for room-temperature conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have demonstrated a room-temperature method that could significantly reduce carbon dioxide levels in fossil-fuel power plant exhaust, one of the main sources of carbon emissions in the atmosphere.

Lux: graphene severely underperforming commercially against “massive hype”

Green Car Congress

Market analyst firm Lux Research has maintained a skeptical stance about the commercial prospects of graphene even in the light of the material’s compelling properties. Just the Next Carbon Nanotube?”, A research and patent boom along with impressive technical performance is far from a guarantee of commercial success.

IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

NACFE releases guidance report on hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks

Green Car Congress

We published this report to help make sense of hydrogen for commercial freight movement. Hydrogen is a regional solution, cheap hydrogen even more so. Almost every day there is a new announcement about hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks. Even with all the information, there are a lot of unanswered questions.

New nanolithia cathodes may address technical drawbacks of Li-air batteries; scalable, cheap and safer Li-air battery system

Green Car Congress

Further, the cathode is automatically protected from O 2 gas release and overcharging through the shuttling of self-generated radical species soluble in the carbonate electrolyte. You need large auxiliary systems to remove the carbon dioxide and water, and it’s very hard to do this.” It also displays stable cycling performance (only 1.8%

Topsoe and First Ammonia sign 5GW electrolyzer agreement for green ammonia

Green Car Congress

The production of 5 million metric tons of green ammonia produced per year would eliminate 13 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, the equivalent of taking 9 million gasoline-fueled cars off the road. These projects will be the world’s first commercial-scale, green ammonia production facilities with operation planned for 2025.
