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. In March 2021, both companies commenced sample sales of a TEG module, YGPX024 (picture below), to investigate market needs.

Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. The system uses heated supercritical carbon dioxide instead of steam to generate electricity and is based on a closed-loop Brayton cycle.

IEA: global CO2 emissions rebounded to their highest level in history in 2021; largely driven by China

Green Car Congress

The recovery of energy demand in 2021 was compounded by adverse weather and energy market conditions—notably the spikes in natural gas prices—which led to more coal being burned despite renewable power generation registering its largest growth to date. billion tonnes. billion tonnes.

Evonik and Siemens Energy commission pilot plant for conversion of CO2 to chemicals

Green Car Congress

The necessary energy is supplied by electricity from renewable sources. In the electrolyzers, carbon dioxide and water are converted into carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ) with electricity in a first step. This synthesis gas is used by special microorganisms to produce specialty chemicals, initially for research purposes.
