Looking to get in a hybrid for cheap? Used Toyota Prius 1.5 HSD 2004-2009 Review

Green Car Congress

I knew I wanted something for her that was cheap to maintain, had a reliable automatic transmission, came with cruise control, AC. It is something very cheap to fix and to inspect. ICEs are just boring and inefficient in the sense of wasting energy. It was time to buy our first car. This criteria only left the Prius in play.

Chalmers team identifies two main challenges for bio-hydrocarbon fuel production from cheap sources

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have identified two main challenges for renewable biofuel production from cheap sources: lowering the cost of developing microbial cell factories; and establishing more efficient methods for hydrolysis of biomass to sugars for fermentation. Zhou et al.

UNIST team develops novel hydrogen production process using biomass oxidation instead of water oxidation as electron source

Green Car Congress

Conventionally, water is considered a cheap and clean source of electrons; 2H 2 O ? Briefly, PMA can be readily reduced at room temperature upon oxidation of abundant biomass wastes, such as lignin and chopped particles of giant miscanthus, acacia, rice straw and larch.

A*STAR team combines fungal culture and acid hydrolyses for cost-effective production of fermentable sugars from palm oil waste

Green Car Congress

Researchers from A*STAR in Singapore have developed a fungal culture for use in a cheap and efficient method to transform waste oil palm material into biofuels and environmentally friendly plastics. The palm oil waste contains cellulose and hemicellulose that can be broken down into sugars for use in fuel and plastic production.

Blue World Technologies takes 15% stake in Danish Power Systems; methanol fuel cell vehicles

Green Car Congress

A closed thermal integration enables reuse of fuel cell waste heat for fuel evaporation thereby increasing efficiency. In the combination with HT PEM the waste heat is of sufficient temperature to drive this process, meaning an energy-free process which leads to a superior overall efficiency. CO 2 + 3 H 2.
