Audi Hungaria starts operation of Europe’s biggest solar roof installation

Green Car Congress

Hungaria, officially started operation of Europe’s biggest photovoltaic roof installation. Audi Hungaria is thus the second of five Audi sites (after Audi Brussels) to achieve a neutral carbon balance, according to the company. We have a clear aim: that all Audi sites will have carbon-neutral operation by 2025.

Multicomponent catalytic system efficiently converts carbon dioxide to methanol

Green Car Congress

Inspired by naturally occurring processes, a team of Boston College chemists used a multi-catalyst system to convert carbon dioxide to methanol at the lowest temperatures reported with high activity and selectivity. It can be produced from hydrogen and carbon dioxide, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and storing hydrogen in the process.

New proton ceramic reactor stack for highly efficient hydrogen production and carbon capture in a single step

Green Car Congress

The ceramic membrane reactor also separates carbon dioxide more efficiently, enabling the greenhouse gas to be easily transported and sequestered. The process also has a low carbon footprint. The generator installed at this facility, which is five times bigger than the one described in the Science paper, has also been shown to work.

Study finds limiting warming to 2 °C would require at least a $200/t carbon tax globally

Green Car Congress

Lloyd Distinguished Service Professor in Economics, and José-Luis Cruz of Princeton University assesses the local social cost of carbon (LSCC) and how that cost aligns with the carbon reduction pledges countries made under the Paris Agreement. The price of carbon should then be set at this price, everywhere.
