Researchers store hydrogen fuel in salts

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Germany have developed a method to store and release highly pure hydrogen by the interconversion of readily available (bi)carbonate and formate salts in the presence of naturally occurring ?-amino amino acids. An open-access paper on their work is published in ACS Central Science. 2c00723.

New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

The electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 using renewable energy could establish a climate-neutral, artificial carbon cycle. Excess energy produced by photovoltaics and wind energy could be stored through the electrocatalytic production of fuels from CO 2. These could then be burned as needed. and Xiong, Y.

Strategic Biofuels successfully tests carbon capture and storage for renewable diesel plant

Green Car Congress

Strategic Biofuels announced that its Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Test Well Program was successfully completed at the company’s Louisiana Green Fuels Project (LGF) in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana. Deep carbon negativity greatly increases the potential carbon credit revenues from our fuel and vastly improves the project’s returns.

Aviation H2 selects liquid ammonia as carbon-free fuel of choice

Green Car Congress

Their research shows that converting a Falcon 50 to Liquid Ammonia Turbofan Combustion is the most efficient and commercially viable avenue to building a hydrogen-powered plane. In fact, the stored weight of liquid ammonia energy is substantially lighter than gaseous hydrogen and can be kept at a much lower tank pressure.

UK to award £54M to 15 projects developing innovative carbon removal technology

Green Car Congress

The UK government is awarding £54 million to 15 projects to develop technologies that remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide can then be permanently stored or used in various products or applications. The biochar is rich in carbon and can be used as a fertilizer. Cambridge Carbon Capture Ltd.,

DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

estimated that with conversion by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and upgrading, the wet waste resource availability in the United States could be converted to jet fuel that is equivalent to about 24% of the U.S. Skaggs et al. demand in 2016.
