Up close and personal with Volkswagen’s e-Golf carbon offset project: Garcia River Forest

Green Car Congress

Emission reductions produced by the project are verified by an approved third party and registered with the Climate Action Reserve (Project ID CAR102 ). The main focus of the comparisons is on five environmental impact categories during production, use and recycling. Calculating stored carbon; “additionality”. McKinney Landfill.

Stress Levels Revealed in Micro-Beads of Sweat

Cars That Think

Sometimes climatic conditions don't lend themselves to creating enough sweat to analyze. And sometimes, a person is physically unable to create sufficient sweat volumes to analyze with existing technologies. Reading off a person's glucose and cortisol levels is the goal. Fortunately, sweat sensors may yet be up to the job.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

Humans consume more than 1 ton of concrete per person per year—10 12 kg of cement annually—and the cement industry releases 9kg of CO 2 for each 10kg of cement produced, emitting 36 Gt globally annually. This is a powerful economic incentive, rather than economic cost, to mitigate climate change through a carbon negative process.

Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide Fight for Green Tech Domination

Cars That Think

Can advanced semiconductors cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? The rise of GaN and SiC power electronics will ultimately have a greater positive impact on the planet’s climate than will the replacement of incandescent and other legacy lighting by GaN LEDs.
