Findings by MIT researchers could help advance the commercialization of supercritical water technology for the desulfurization and upgrading of high-sulfur crude oil into high-value, cleaner fuels such as gasoline without using hydrogen—a major change in refining technology that would reduce costs, energy use, and CO 2 emissions.

In a companion study to an SAE paper presented in April ( earlier post ), researchers at MIT have quantified the net economic and CO 2 emissions benefit that could be obtained by utilizing 98 RON gasoline in light-duty vehicles, based on reasonable assumptions for possible refinery changes and the evolution of the LDV fleet. billion in 2040.

Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when running on electricity. As one MIT report found, on average, “a fully electric vehicle emits about 25 percent less carbon than a comparable hybrid car.” The post How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions appeared first on Blink Charging.

The realization, which will benefit also from the collaboration with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), of technologies and devices for the capture and temporary storage of part of CO 2 produced by internal combustion engines. This fuel can already be used with existing vehicles, without the need to modify the engine.

Simply put, Germany took a perfectly working battery-electric vehicle, modified it with a synthetic methanol engine, and dubbed it as a work of true innovation. Bundesministerin Anja Karliczek hat heute in Berlin den Prototypen eines Autos vorgestellt, das mit dem synthetischen Kraftstoff Methanol angetrieben werden kann.
