New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

The electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 using renewable energy could establish a climate-neutral, artificial carbon cycle. Conversion into liquid fuels would be advantageous because they have high energy density and are safe to store and transport. These could then be burned as needed. Credit: Angewandte Chemie.

Snam and Saipem sign MoU to work together on green hydrogen development and CO2 capture

Green Car Congress

Italy-based Snam, a leading energy infrastructure operator, and Saipem, an Italian multinational oilfield services company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to start working together to define and to develop initiatives for green hydrogen production and transport, and for carbon dioxide capture, transport and reuse or storage (CCS and CCU).

Prometheus CEO outlines tech advances that could make CO2-to-fuels renewable gasoline and jet price-competitive with fossil fuels

Green Car Congress

This is an important development because there is little time available to reduce CO 2 emissions sufficiently to avoid the worst effects of climate change. The conversion of CO 2 to fuels in these inexpensive water-based systems has shown high faradic efficiencies for reduction of CO 2. —Rob McGinnis. —Rob McGinnis.

Tesla Model Y converted into green hydrogen car to show “Hyper Hybrid” innovations

Teslarati

German Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek recently unveiled an example of a “hyper hybrid” vehicle powered by synthetic methanol, which is based on “green hydrogen” technologies. But while the idea to produce a climate-friendly car is admirable, the vehicle Germany used for the project was quite questionable.

Twelve produces first batch of E-Jet fuel from CO2 electrolysis; partnership with USAF; electrifying fuel, not planes

Green Car Congress

Twelve’s jet fuel, produced using its carbon transformation technology in partnership with Fischer-Tropsch conversion experts Emerging Fuels Technology ( earlier post ), is a fossil-free fuel that offers a drop-in replacement for petrochemical-based alternatives without any changes to existing plane design or commercial regulations.

United and Oxy collaborate with syn-bio company Cemvita to produce SAF from CO2 using microbes

Green Car Congress

United and OLCV have previously worked together on new approaches to combat climate change. United has pursued strategic investments in SAF producers and technologies including carbon capture, hydrogen-electric engines, electric regional aircraft, and urban air mobility.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. US $5 PER KILOGRAM Cost of green hydrogen today.
