Government to offer £3,750 to EV buyers

EV Info

The government is set to reduce the cost of certain new electric cars by up to £3,750 through new grants aimed at encouraging a shift from petrol and diesel vehicles. Scores are relative to an index based on the carbon intensity of different [power] grids.” Threshold levels have yet to be made public. And no Chinese made EVs.

GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

Stuart Licht have demonstrated the first facile high-yield, low-energy synthesis of macroscopic length carbon nanotubes (CNTs)—carbon nanotube wool—from CO 2 using molten carbonate electrolysis ( earlier post ). This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity.

ExxonMobil, UC Berkeley, Berkeley Lab develop new MOF for carbon capture and steam regeneration

Green Car Congress

Scientists from ExxonMobil, University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new material that could capture more than 90% of CO 2 emitted from industrial sources using low-temperature steam, requiring less energy for the overall carbon capture process.

Researchers create salts for cheap and efficient CO2 capture; mimicking methane hydrate

Green Car Congress

Qiang Xu of Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) have developed a promising method for carbon capture and storage using a single-crystalline guanidinium sulfate-based clathrate salt. Methane hydrate is studied for its ability to capture and trap gas molecules such as carbon dioxide under high pressure. Xiang et al.

Study finds limiting warming to 2 °C would require at least a $200/t carbon tax globally

Green Car Congress

Lloyd Distinguished Service Professor in Economics, and José-Luis Cruz of Princeton University assesses the local social cost of carbon (LSCC) and how that cost aligns with the carbon reduction pledges countries made under the Paris Agreement. The price of carbon should then be set at this price, everywhere.

Researchers develop wave-energy-driven CO2 reduction system for production of carbon-based liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

Finally, besides the above, the cost of fabricating the TENGs must be lowered, and it should be made more convenient to form a large network of TENGs to deliver cheaper and higher wave power output.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

Methane derived from CO 2 and renewable H 2 sources is an attractive fuel, and it has great potential as a renewable hydrogen carrier as an environmentally responsible carbon capture and utilization approach. 2021), “Integrated Capture and Conversion of CO2 to Methane using a Water-lean, Post-Combustion CO2 Capture Solvent.”
