EU project HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL); SAF

Green Car Congress

The EU-funded research project HyFlexFuel recently successfully produced biocrudes via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) from a variety of biomasses, including sewage sludge, food waste, manure, wheat straw, corn stover, pine sawdust, miscanthus and microalgae in a pilot-scale continuous HTL plant at Aarhus University (Denmark).

Researchers use quantum computing method to optimize molecular photoswitches for solar energy harvesting

Green Car Congress

Molecular photoswitches that can both convert and store energy could be used to make solar energy harvesting more efficient. Mikkelsen at the University of Copenhagen, (Denmark) and Kasper Moth–Poulsen at the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona (Spain), have taken a closer look at the photoswitches best suited for this task.

New nickel-gallium catalyst could lead to low-cost, clean production of methanol; small-scale, low-pressure devices

Green Car Congress

Scientists from Stanford University, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Technical University of Denmark have identified a new nickel-gallium catalyst that converts hydrogen and carbon dioxide into methanol at ambient pressure and with fewer side-products than the conventional catalyst.

Researchers use LCLS to get real-time view of chemical reaction; important insight into how catalysts work

Green Car Congress

Catalytic converters in cars, for example, reduce emissions by converting exhaust to less toxic compounds. In the LCLS experiment, the scientists shot the crystal’s surface with a pulse from a conventional laser, which caused carbon monoxide molecules to begin to break away. It was a surprise. ”.
