Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

We’ve been striving to get here for a number of years, and to be able to demonstrate that we can connect our system through a commercial device to the grid is the first bridge to more efficient electricity generation. In comparison, the Brayton cycle has a theoretical conversion efficiency upwards of 50%. —Darryn Fleming.

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. The Bio-LNG used by Shell in the test is produced from agricultural waste. In the first five months, the volume of Bio-LNG lifted has reduced 87 tons of CO 2 eq.
