Yamaha and Sumitomo demo on-board thermoelectric generator for CO2 reduction

Green Car Congress

a Sumitomo Corporation Group company, jointly demonstrated a new waste heat recovery system based on a thermoelectric generator (TEG), which generates electrical power via exhaust gas heat. The TEG unit was installed in the exhaust pipe at the downstream of the catalyst. Yamaha Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation Power & Mobility Co.,

Researchers capture first images of CO2 emissions from commercial aircraft engine using chemical species tomography

Green Car Congress

Researchers have used a novel near-infrared light imaging technique to capture the first cross-sectional images of carbon dioxide in the exhaust plume of a commercial jet engine. The researchers used their new chemical species tomography setup to capture the first images of carbon dioxide exhaust from a commercial aircraft engine.

EPFL team develops on-board system to capture CO2 from trucks; reducing emissions by 90%

Green Car Congress

The EPFL system captures CO 2 directly in the trucks’ exhaust system and liquefies it in a box on the vehicle’s roof. First, the vehicle’s flue gases in the exhaust pipe are cooled down and the water is separated from the gases. Researchers at EPFL have patented a new concept that could cut trucks’ CO 2 emissions by almost 90%.

New process uses localized surface plasmons for room-temperature conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have demonstrated a room-temperature method that could significantly reduce carbon dioxide levels in fossil-fuel power plant exhaust, one of the main sources of carbon emissions in the atmosphere.

DOE-supported CO2-capture project hits major milestone: 4 million metric tons

Green Car Congress

In addition to demonstrating the integration of Air Products’ vacuum swing adsorption technology, the project is also helping to verify that CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) is an effective method for permanently storing CO 2.

Eaton expands valvetrain portfolio for off-highway vehicles to help reduce CO2 and NOx

Green Car Congress

Eaton’s cylinder-deactivation (CDA) technology increases the exhaust temperature at low load to allow NO x aftertreatment systems to quickly reach peak efficiency range of 250 °C – 400 °C. Hydraulic lash adjusters can also support cylinder deactivation. CDA is just one of Eaton’s variable valve actuation (VVA) technologies.
