Ultimately, Kanan would like to see a scaled-up version of the catalytic cell powered by electricity from the sun, wind or other renewable resource. We have a solution to this problem that’s made of copper, which is cheap and abundant. The team is working to improve the yield for propanol by further tuning the catalyst’s structure.
Moreover, it is a cheap carbon source which can increase the atom utilization of CO 2 hydrogenation due to the stoichiometric ratio of C and O atoms, as well as reducing the formation of water. … wind and solar power) to act as an efficient chemical energy storage localized or distributed system.
And of course there’s CO2, so it doesn’t provide the carbon gains of power from solar, wind, or hydro-electric sources. Electricity from natural gas is broadly better than electricity from coal—or gasoline itself, in cars—but it still pollutes, producing sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and more.
But the innovators hope that the boom in data centers—and in associated infrastructure such as new nuclear reactors and offshore wind farms , where each turbine foundation can use up to 7,500 cubic meters of concrete—may finally push green cement and concrete beyond labs, startups, and pilot plants.
And so if you look at the Earth from space and you see that shiny blue marble, the principle is that if you could make the atmosphere or the Earth about 1% more reflective, that you might be able to offset a doubling of CO2 or two or more degrees of warming. Absolutely, but it’s not necessarily cheap and easy to do in an absolute sense.
I also think it will be cheap, which is why I think someone will buy the group. Reply ↓ ↑ report 17 DRK_ILLIDAN 1:09AM (4/24/2009) Stop makin f*kn battery powered cars there not gonna work, yeah woo zero emissions remember where the powers coming from rite now nim rods, you still have tins of co2 at the power plant.
So, the used batteries are almost arbitrarily cheap since an arbitrarily large fraction of their cost of production can be loaded on their use in transportation. Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources. Gas is 60% efficient and wind, in this context, is 100% efficient even with transmission losses.
The UK has been a leader in deploying on and offshore wind turbines. What we have not done so well is to ensure that we have a solid base level of generation to supply electricity when there is no sun and no wind. At the time of writing, mid-morning 21 Sept, we have: Wind 9%. Most CO2 is a by-product of making fertilisers.
Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. Wind, hydro, DC transmission lines, and smart grid electronics are also Portland strengths. — Larry 4.
Solar, Wind and Biofuels Grew 53 Percent in 2008 Green Education = Environmental Religion? Millions will plug-in their electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCV) at night when electricity is cheap, then plug-in during the day when energy is expensive and sell those extra electrons at a profit.
