Twelve and LanzaTech successfully convert CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

Our process aims to rebalance the overabundance of carbon in our environment and instead reuse it for meaningful applications. This approach is highly scalable and could ultimately produce ethanol at an industrial scale, while simultaneously eliminating CO 2 emissions. —LanzaTech CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren.

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

Green Car Congress

A research team has developed a new artificial photosynthesis device component with remarkable stability and longevity as it selectively converts sunlight and carbon dioxide into two promising sources of renewable fuels: ethylene and hydrogen. We knew it was unstable—but we were surprised to learn just how unstable it really is.

Toyota and public and private partners in Japan to trial renewable CO2-free hydrogen supply chain

Green Car Congress

Major corporate and public sector partners in Japan are launching an effort to test a full carbon-neutral hydrogen supply chain powered by renewable wind energy. In addition, the project will be supported by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment. This requires electricity, still typically produced using fossil-fuel-burning power plants.

Galvanic, IBAT testing proves Smackover brine is DLE compatible

Green Car Congress

The catch is identifying lithium that can be harvested economically and in a way that doesn’t harm the environment. Besides fresh water, no other chemicals were required in the IBAT process, whereas other DLE operators add acids, bases or both to adjust the pH of the brine through their DLE processes. We can find the lithium.

PARC building cleantech portfolio; co-extrusion printing of novel battery electrodes and carbon-neutral renewable liquid fuels from atmospheric CO2

Green Car Congress

Schematic of the HP-BPMED device used in the renewable fuels research. (a) PARC is developing a non-biological approach for producing liquid fuels from renewable energy, air, CO 2 and water. As long as the energy for the process is renewably generated, PARC notes, the overall process is carbon-neutral. Energy Environ.
