Columbia University engineers make breakthrough in understanding electroreduction of CO2 for conversion to electrofuels

Green Car Congress

Recent research in electrocatalytic CO 2 conversion points the way to using CO 2 as a feedstock and renewable electricity as an energy supply for the synthesis of different types of fuel and value-added chemicals such as ethylene, ethanol, and propane. Their paper is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

National Research Council showcasing new algal biorefinery project to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

The process being deployed by CNRC experts and its partners is designed to rapidly recycle carbon dioxide and other airborne industrial emissions into biomass through photosynthesis. Pond Technologies is supplying the photobioreactor and supporting structures, equipment, and personnel.

ICAO agrees to market-based measure to address aviation CO2

Green Car Congress

ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) is designed to complement the basket of mitigation measures the air transport community is already pursuing to reduce CO 2 emissions from international aviation. The buying and selling of eligible emissions units happens through a carbon market.

CRI awarded €1.8M EU grant to scale CO2-to-methanol technology

Green Car Congress

The project is referred to as “CirclEnergy” as CRI’s technology is designed to support and enable the transition to circular economy. Heat recovery from the reactor can be practiced to supply steam to the distillation unit. CRI’s ETL technology consist of five process modules. The reaction is highly exothermic.

Nissan establishes Zero Emission Fund; CO2 offset credits for LEAF owners in Japan

Green Car Congress

Nissan and more trees will use part of the profits generated by the fund to facilitate conservation of thinning forests in Japan that need reforestation, to be designated “LEAF Forests.”. Forest conservation areas will be gradually expanded in line with the level of profits earned by the fund.

This Startup Is Building the Internet of Underwater Things

Cars That Think

Water covers 72 percent of the Earth’s surface, its volumes host 80 percent of biodiversity and play a pivotal role in global phenomena, such as climate change. WSense has designed its platform first for shallow water (up to 300 m depth), but now it asserts that it is operational up to -3000 m, opening the door wider to the oceans.

U Mich professor finds fuel cycle analysis for evaluating CO2 impacts of liquid fuels is fatally flawed; calls for focus on CO2 removal

Green Car Congress

Fuel cycle analysis (FCA)—or “well-to-wheels analysis”—is a type lifecycle analysis (LCA) that examines fuel products and their supply chains, and that has greatly influenced climate-related research priorities and public policies for transportation fuels. It has not been used to specify fuel regulations.
