Novel membrane-free Mg-CO2 battery sequesters CO2 and generates electricity

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) have designed a membrane-free (MF) Mg-CO 2 battery as an advanced approach to sequester CO 2 emissions by generating electricity and value-added chemicals without any harmful by-products. A paper on the work is published in the journal Nano Energy. —Kim et al.

GTI quantifies opportunity to produce low-carbon renewable natural gas (RNG) from wood wastes

Green Car Congress

GTI has released a site-specific engineering design titled “ Low-Carbon Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from Wood Wastes ”. GTI led a team of engineers and scientists to produce a blueprint for converting an existing biomass facility into an RNG production site, using the wood waste feedstock and some of the existing infrastructure.

New bike bag reduces CO2 footprint by using pyrolysis oil from from recycled EOL tires; BASF Ultramid Ccycled

Green Car Congress

The new “Pendik” bicycle bag from the pinqponq brand by baesiq GmbH (Cologne, Germany) has a significantly reduced CO 2 footprint due to BASF’s Ultramid Ccycled , a mass-balanced polyamide that supports the use of alternative raw materials from chemical recycling of plastic waste. The “Pendik” model is a 2-in-1 bag with bike rack function.

SLB introduces low-carbon alternative for well construction cement that eliminates up to 85% of embodied CO2

Green Car Congress

The technology fits within standard oilfield cementing workflows without major changes to the design process, onsite execution, or postjob evaluation. The EcoShield system uses locally sourced natural materials and industrial waste streams in its composition, making this a far more sustainable well integrity method.

Cambridge researchers develop standalone device that makes formic acid from sunlight, CO2 and water

Green Car Congress

It’s been difficult to achieve artificial photosynthesis with a high degree of selectivity, so that you’re converting as much of the sunlight as possible into the fuel you want, rather than be left with a lot of waste. —first author Dr Qian Wang from Cambridge’s Department of Chemistry. —senior author Professor Erwin Reisner.

Researchers develop new stable artificial photosynthesis device to produce ethylene and hydrogen from sunlight and CO2

Green Car Congress

By understanding how materials and devices transform under operation, we can design approaches that are more durable and thus reduce waste. To validate their simulations, the researchers designed a physical model of a Z-scheme artificial photosynthesis device at Toma’s LiSA lab at Berkeley Lab. Zheng, F.,
