CO2-neutral hydrogen storage with a bicarbonate/formate system

Green Car Congress

Reversible hydrogen storage cycle based on the redox system bicarbonate/formate. Researchers at the Leibnitz Institute for Catalysis (Rostock, Germany) have introduced a new approach to hydrogen storage that is based on simple salts of formic acid and carbonic acid.

NSF to award up to $13M for fundamental work on sustainable production of electricity and transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

Photosynthetic processes used by plants or algae use sunlight to convert atmospheric CO 2 to energy-rich metabolites (carbohydrates, lipids, or hydrocarbons) which can be processed into transportation fuels. Solar photovoltaic (PV) devices harvest and convert sunlight directly to electricity. Photovoltaic Solar Energy.

PARC building cleantech portfolio; co-extrusion printing of novel battery electrodes and carbon-neutral renewable liquid fuels from atmospheric CO2

Green Car Congress

PARC’s proposed approach captures CO 2 from the air and reacts it with hydrogen produced via the electrolysis of water to produce liquid hydrocarbon fuels. The technique uses a solvent such as sodium or potassium hydroxides, converted by reacting with CO 2 to aqueous carbonates or bicarbonates.

Electric Car Manufacturers Inspire New Paradigms -- Seeking Alpha

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

The electric car features three different battery options, two different Lithium-based (LI) systems – A123Systems and Enerdel as well as a Sodium-Nickel battery Zebra (Mes-Dea). Think has even shown a convertible prototype. There is significant cause vs. effect debate on CO2. We have oil!
