Researchers Say Mix of Policies and Current or Near-Term Technologies Could Phase Out US CO2 Emissions from Coal-Fired Power Plants by 2030

Green Car Congress

This global climate change problem becomes manageable only if society deals quickly with emissions of carbon dioxide from burning coal in electric power plants, they state. Readily available reserves of oil and gas are sufficient to take atmospheric CO 2 to at least 400 ppm. A first step is to remove fossil fuel subsidies.

POSTECH, Hyundai team develops new more thermally robust catalyst for NOx reduction with diesel engines

Green Car Congress

This prohibits closer placement of the catalyst to the engine, requiring an aggressive warm-up with extra fuel burning during the cold-start. Improvement of the thermal durability of the SCR catalysts would therefore be the key to maximizing the fuel efficiency, as well as to producing clean emissions from diesel engines.

Hyperion Unveils Design of its Small Modular Nuclear Reactor, the Hyperion Power Module

Green Car Congress

The first version of the HPM is a uranium nitride (U 2 N 3 )-fueled, lead-bismuth (Pb-Bi)-cooled, fast reactor. We have every intention of producing Dr. Peterson’s uranium hydride-fueled reactor; it is an important breakthrough technology for the nuclear power industry. The U 2 N 3 fuel is 20% enriched and set in HT-9 cladding tubes.

U. Mich, Ford team studies effect of ethanol in reducing PM from DISI engines; insights into fueling strategies to reduce soot

Green Car Congress

A team from the University of Michigan and Ford’s Research and Advanced Engineering group in Dearborn has studied the effects of ethanol on reducing particulate emissions from a direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine by comparing neat anhydrous ethanol with a baseline fuel of reference grade gasoline (indolene).
