According to their analysis, published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology , favorable assumptions for all involved process steps (30% thermochemical energy conversion efficiency; 3000 kWh/(m 2 a) solar irradiation, low CO 2 and heliostat costs) result in jet fuel production costs of €1.28/L kg CO 2 ‐equiv /L. 5b03515.

Price is also a factor. The American Silverado EV has a start price of US$74,800 ($113,000), making it far pricier than a Rivian R1T or Ford F-150 Lightning. Then there’s the cost of converting it to right-hand-drive for our market. That said, an EV RHD conversion is a much simpler job than one on a combustion vehicle. .

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have created a new system—the least costly to date—that efficiently captures CO 2 and converts it into methanol. The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton.

There are two basic approaches to converting coal to synthetic fuels: indirect liquefaction (ICL) (Fischer-Tropsch) and direct (Bergius). The indirect liquefaction pathway first gasifies the coal to produce a syngas, and then catalytically converts the syngas to linear hydrocarbons or chemicals. Axens DCL process. Source: Axens.
