Dutch/Russian effort to commercialize new process to convert flared gas to gasoline via a DME pathway

Green Car Congress

We will also be designing a mobile unit to convert gas into fuel at remote locations. The new method will lead to innovations in industry, new cleaner production processes and less harmful emissions. This byproduct of oil production often is difficult to transport from remote locations.

MIT and Moscow State collaborating on advanced batteries, metal-air batteries and reversible fuel/electrolysis cells

Green Car Congress

We need a way of producing alternative cleaner fuels, minimizing use of hydrocarbons, or at a minimum recycling the carbon dioxide to form these more useful fuels. The Russian economy is currently heavily dependent on selling carbon-based fossil fuels, principally oil and gas. Batteries Fuel Cells Power-to-Gas Russia'
