Month-long study finds heat released by Rossi E-Cat and isotope changes in fuel suggest low-temp nuclear reaction taking place

Green Car Congress

Those results prompted this current follow-on study. The E-Cat reactor tested in the most recent study is thus an improved version running at higher temperature than the one used in the March 2013 experiment. Earlier post.) The outer surface of the body of the E-Cat is molded in triangular ridges, 2.3 mm high and 3.2

UNEP study: small number of measures targeting black carbon and tropospheric ozone could yield immediate climate benefits

Green Car Congress

Global benefits from full implementation of the identified measures in 2030 compared to the reference scenario. The climate change benefit is estimated for 2050 and human health and crop benefits are for 2030 and beyond. Black carbon and tropospheric ozone are harmful air pollutants that also contribute to climate change.

LLNL report lays out technology pathways for California to become carbon-neutral and then -negative by 2045; 3 pillars of negative emissions

Green Car Congress

The three main pathways to negative emissions (removing CO 2 from the atmosphere) for California are restoring natural ecosystems, converting waste biomass to fuels while capturing the CO 2 generating during processing, and direct air capture machines.
