First Supercritical CO2 Circuit Breaker Debuts

Cars That Think

Researchers this month will begin testing a high-voltage circuit breaker that can quench an arc and clear a fault with supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. The greenhouse warming potential of SF 6 is nearly 25,000 times as high as that of carbon dioxide, he notes. In Georgia Techs design, supercritical carbon dioxide quenches the arc.

How Significant Will The European Emissions Rollback Actually Be?

The Truth About Cars

Europe is relaxing CO2 emission targets after receiving feedback from automakers. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued an announcement earlier this month that manufacturers would receive a two-year extension for meeting the planned tighter CO2 emissions rules for 2025. Everything else will remain the same.

New system for more efficient CO2 electrolysis to hydrocarbon products

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers from Canada and the US has developed a system that quickly and efficiently converts carbon dioxide into simple chemicals via CO 2 electrolysis. The electrode architecture enables production of two-carbon products such as ethylene and ethanol at current densities just over an ampere per square centimeter.
