USDA awards $3M biorefinery grant to support conversion of lignin into renewable alternative for ABS Resin

Green Car Congress

a $3-million grant to support the commercialization of its patented and patent-pending lignin conversion and refining technologies. The resulting ABL Resin product is proven to be a higher-performing renewable offset for the petroleum-derived resin acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). a subsidiary of Meridian Waste Solutions, Inc.,a

New inexpensive catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO could help with storage of renewable energy

Green Car Congress

carbon monoxide evolving catalyst (Bi-CMEC) that can be used in conjunction with ionic liquids to convert CO 2 to carbon monoxide (CO) using electricity. Used in conjunction with ionic liquids, it effected the electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 to CO with appreciable current density at overpotentials below 0.2

Researchers propose using AC and ventilation systems for decentralized production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels

Green Car Congress

Compact plants are to separate CO 2 from the ambient air directly in buildings and produce synthetic hydrocarbons which can then be used as renewable synthetic oil. The team presents this “crowd oil” concept in Nature Communications. Envisioned modular, on-site renewable hydrocarbon synthesis system based on CO 2 capture from thin air.

UC Santa Barbara team develops catalytic molten metals for direct conversion of methane to hydrogen without forming CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara have developed catalytic molten metals to pyrolize methane to release hydrogen and to form solid carbon. The insoluble carbon floats to the surface of the melt, where it can be removed and stored or incorporated into composite materials. C) Raman spectrum of surface carbon.
