MIT researchers develop oxygen permeable membrane that converts CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and thence into useful fuels for cars, trucks, and planes, as well as into chemical feedstocks for a wide variety of products.

MIT researchers advancing development of supercritical water upgrading of heavy crude; lower cost, energy use and CO2

Green Car Congress

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.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

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.

Eni, FCA partner on R&D to cut road vehicle CO2 emissions; methanol/ethanol blends, renewable diesel, ANG, on-board CO2 capture

Green Car Congress

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.
