GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. The process is constrained by the (low) cost of electricity. The initial synthesis pathways, however, led only to short CNTs. —Johnson et al. Johnson et al. Click to enlarge. 2017.07.003.

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

The latter (B) includes a cascade effect due to virgin Al’s large carbon footprint, triggering larger CNT-composite induced CO 2 emission elimination. Furthermore, the removed CO 2 is permanently stored, unlike, other methods like the production of fuels or seltzer water that re-release CO2 when the product is used. Licht et al.

DOE awards $3M for 10 high-performance computing projects to improve energy efficiency and material performance

Green Car Congress

DOE’s Advanced Manufacturing Office has selected seven projects in the HPC4Mfg program focused on the following topics: Reductions in CO 2 or CO 2 -equivalent emissions through electrification, improved carbon-capturing processes, and the integration of low-to-zero carbon fuels. and carbon emissions reduction of products of interest.

Santos reports successful CO2 capture and storage injection trial in Moomba CCS project

Green Car Congress

We will need an approved methodology for CCS to be in place with the Clean Energy Regulator before we take a final investment decision on our Moomba CCS Project because carbon credits are essential to make it stack up economically with the cost of abatement still at around A$30 per tonne.

GWU team develops low-cost, high-yield one-pot synthesis of carbon nanofibers from atmospheric CO2

Green Car Congress

A team led by Dr. Stuart Licht at The George Washington University in Washington, DC has developed a low-cost, high-yield and scalable process for the electrolytic conversion of atmospheric CO 2 dissolved in molten carbonates into carbon nanofibers (CNFs.) —Stuart Licht.

GWU team develops cost-effective solar process to produce lime for cement without CO2 emission

Green Car Congress

A team at George Washington University has demonstrated a new solar process that can produce lime (CaO) for cement without any emission of carbon dioxide, and at lower projected cost than the existing cement industry process. The majority (about 60%) of those CO 2 emissions result from the production of lime. The CO is produced.

ALABC: 48V mild hybrids can meet emission targets with CO2 reductions of 15-20%

Green Car Congress

Current mild-hybrid vehicle projects, in partnership with Ford and Hyundai/Kia, that utilize advanced 48V lead-carbon batteries, can reduce CO 2 emissions by 15-20%, according to the latest data from the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC), presented at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (25-28 January, Mainz).
