Linde pilot testing dry reforming process to generate syngas from CO2 and methane for production of fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

Post-compression of syngas with high CO contents is technically not an easy task, notes Linde development partner Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). To address that particular issue, KIT has focused on developing and designing new catalyst and process options for dry reforming at elevated pressure. Behrens, A. and Schödel, N.

Kopernikus Project P2X integrated container-scale test facility produces first fuels from air-captured CO2 and green power

Green Car Congress

Partners of the P2X Kopernikus project on the premises of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany have demonstrated the production of fuel from air-captured CO2 using—for the first time—a container-based test facility integrating all four chemical process steps needed to implement a continuous process.

Will CARB’s New Rules Damage EV Startups?

Revenge of the Electric Car

Going faster than that triggers the car’s gasoline-powered engine, transforming the vehicle back into a traditional hybrid. The conversion can double or even triple fuel economy, thereby severely limiting carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, the plug-ins burn much less fuel, thereby significantly reducing CO2 emissions.

Gasoline is burnt up and gone forever into the atmosphere and into our lungs. In most conversions cost is about the same because of needless weight. Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. If you charge with solar, is way less.
