DHL, Shell and Grundfos Bio-LNG pilot for road freight delivers 85% CO2 savings over conventional diesel

Green Car Congress

This corresponds to the emissions of more than 89,900 km driven by a diesel truck and represents 85% of CO2 savings compared to a traditional diesel engine. To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization. The logistics industry is currently responsible for 11 percent of global carbon emissions.

Researchers propose harvesting CO2 mixing energy to generate electricity

Green Car Congress

Researchers in The Netherlands are proposing a new method for harvesting electricity from CO 2 emissions. Another approach uses a fuel cell in which dry air at the cathode side is used to maintain operation as an electrochemical concentration cell.
