Chartwell secures £320k Innovate UK Smart Grant to develop methanol-fueled vessel design

Green Car Congress

Methanol fuel presents a significant opportunity to decarbonize in a maritime industry which is confronted with the debate over sustainable fuel alternatives, as it can be produced from biomass and can carry a near-zero carbon footprint.

Study finds renewable fuel mandates alone not likely to lower carbon intensity of biofuels; the importance of localized LCAs and optimized low carbon fuel standards

Green Car Congress

Ultimately, the authors suggest, states can encourage the reduction of fuel GHG emissions by developing policies, such as a low carbon fuel standard (LCFS), that encourage incremental improvements in corn ethanol in the short term and in the medium term by switching to cellulosic-derived fuels. —Boies et al.

Study finds behavior-influencing policies remain critical for mass market success of low-carbon vehicles

Green Car Congress

Policies to entice consumers away from fossil-fuel powered vehicles and normalize low carbon, alternative-fuel alternatives, such as electric vehicles, are vital if the world is to significantly reduce transport sector carbon pure-emissions, according to a new study.

MIT team develops new synthetic pathway and modular engineering toolkit for direct biosynthesis of odd-chain molecules for fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

In many natural pathways, a carbon skeleton is initially formed from which a handful of compounds with diverse chemical architecture are generated. Implementing a heterologous pathway that uses nonnatural substrates (in this case, to produce pentanol rather than butanol) presents two challenges, they noted. —Tseng and Prather.
