ICL researchers develop new membrane-based system for cheap, efficiently made biofuels

Green Car Congress

Because they are expensive, biofuels are usually combined with petrol or diesel to make them ‘go further’. This project was funded by bp International Centre for Advanced Materials (bp ICAM). The application of this perstraction system to continuous production of a range of higher alcohols is explored and shown to be highly favourable.

Jaguar Land Rover investing $1.6M in two new Centers of Excellence for Engine Combustion Research at Oxford and University College London; gasoline and diesel

Green Car Congress

As there is no single solution to cleaner, greener vehicles, we are investing in the research and development of a range of technologies that potentially could help to improve future internal combustion and to develop alternative powertrains. We are on a very positive trajectory to reduce vehicle emissions and improve fuel economy.

Emissions Analytics: mass adoption of hybrids, rather than low-volume BEVs most effective for cutting CO2 now, meeting 2030 targets; best use of limited resource

Green Car Congress

Using mild, full and plug-in hybrid real-world emissions test data from both European and US vehicles, Emissions Analytics compared hybrids with their internal combustion engine equivalents. It is, however, a false assertion that they are needed to fulfil this purpose. Molden outlined two potential paths that are immediately available.

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

Green Car Congress

To make petrol from gas, you want to minimize the number of unwanted substances like aromatics during the process and get close to the intended octane content. The new method will lead to innovations in industry, new cleaner production processes and less harmful emissions. The benefits of this are manifold.
