Navigator CO2 to provide ~600k TPA of CO2 as a feedstock for ultra-low carbon Infinium eFuels

Green Car Congress

Electrofuels provider Infinium and comprehensive carbon management company Navigator CO2 entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and long-term relationship for Navigator to deliver 600,000 tons per annum (TPA) of biogenic carbon dioxide from its Heartland Greenway system to a future Infinium facility for the production of electrofuels (eFuels).

Researchers develop wave-energy-driven CO2 reduction system for production of carbon-based liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

Schematic of the ocean-wave-driven electrochemical CO 2 RR system for liquid fuel production. The team optimized the charging process of the supercapacitor and the operation potential of the electrochemical cells to more effectively utilize the energy harvested from the nanogenerator and maximize the production of formic acid.

IAV unveils new battery assembly concept that is easier to recycle, with better CO2 balance

Green Car Congress

However, common production processes and the materials used make it difficult to dismantle them and thus to recycle them correctly. Wherever possible, click and plug-in connections are used. This means that the number of bolted connections can be reduced by two-thirds, and bonding and welding can also be significantly cut back.

VTT and Neste to build integrated Power-to-Liquids demo facility; CO2 capture, green hydrogen and e-fuels production

Green Car Congress

The end product is a transportation fuel suited for aircraft, ships as well as heavy and light road vehicles. During 2022 and early 2023, electrolysis, CO 2 capture, and synthesis units located in sea containers will be connected to each other and VTT Bioruukki research infrastructure.

Volkswagen Group and Salzgitter AG sign MOU on supply of low-CO2 steel from the end of 2025

Green Car Congress

The Volkswagen Group and Salzgitter AG—which have been partners for more than 60 years— signed a Memorandum of Understanding under which Volkswagen will become one of the first customers for the low-CO 2 steel that Salzgitter AG plans to produce on a new production route at its headquarters in Lower Saxony from the end of 2025.

New highly efficient catalyst for photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction toward methane

Green Car Congress

It’s also especially good at channeling that electricity toward forming methane, with half of the available electrons going toward methane-producing reactions rather than toward by-products such as hydrogen or carbon monoxide. Alternatively, running on electricity, the device could potentially operate in the dark.

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

Green Car Congress

Electrifying planes with batteries has proven unfeasible for at-scale decarbonization of aviation, necessitating the production of fossil-free jet fuel. Twelve says that its technology connects to any source of emissions, is completely modular, and integrates seamlessly into existing industrial systems at any scale.
