DOE awards $35M to 12 ARPA-E projects to reduce methane emissions; 5 on natural gas engines

Green Car Congress

The proposed MOC will use a hydrothermally stable formulation to promote high conversion efficiencies in low-temperature and high-water concentration environments.(Selection Emissions of regulated pollutants such as carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and formaldehyde will be reduced, while nitrogen oxides will stay the same.

Why Hydrogen power is not the answer

EV Info

Most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as water and organic compounds. We can’t just dig Hydrogen up from the ground we must create hydrogen from either Water or from organic compounds, and this requires a lot of energy. This is classified as carbon free hydrogen. As a gas hydrogen or H2.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV. It is much more than that.

4,000 Robots Roam the Oceans, Climate in Their Crosshairs

Cars That Think

The oceans act as an enormous reservoir of both heat and carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas. Thanks to wind-driven currents and large-scale patterns of circulation, the. heat is generally driven westward and towards the poles , being lost as it escapes to the atmosphere and space. And so, we have a new design.

This New Breed of Generator Can Run on Almost Any Fuel

Cars That Think

It’s January 2030 and your electric heat pump is warming the house while your electric car charges in the garage, all powered by solar panels on your roof and by wind and solar generators at your local utility. The ammonia reacts with oxygen in air to produce nitrogen gas and water, and the resulting force pushes against the walls of the box.
