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).

International automotive researchers emphasize the importance of continued development of the internal combustion engine

Green Car Congress

It is very likely that highly efficient “fully flexible” engines with hybridized solutions will be a big part of sought-after efficiency improvements, as well as emission/GHG reductions. Finally, it must be acknowledged that, in practice, people select their choice of powertrain based on numerous factors, including cost. Reitz et al.

DOE announces $11.5M in Phase 1 funding for carbon capture and storage program; ARPA-E FLECCS

Green Car Congress

GE Global Research will optimize an oxy-combustion natural gas-fired turbine—the Allam-Fetvedt cycle—for flexible generation on a grid with high-variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration at near-zero carbon emissions. The team’s approach uses a novel and low-cost heat-pump thermal storage system.

Study suggests that decarbonizing US transport sector by converting waste CO2 to fuels would require economical air-capture of CO2

Green Car Congress

In the near-term pre-CCS era, with a low cost of carbon, the economical solution for power providers is to vent the CO 2 and pay the fees, passing on the costs to customers. owned by) a power plant; careful integration between the two plants will reduce costs (not studied in detail here). their CO 2 (e.g. ~90%)

Low cost supercharger slashes diesel emissions

Green Cars News

Smoke emissions produced by turbocharged diesel engines under heavy load conditions - such as when accelerating from low engine speeds and other similar transient manoeuvres - can be all but eliminated by a relatively simple and low cost electric supercharger says automotive CO2 reduction specialist, Controlled Power Technologies (CPT).
