University of South Carolina Genesis 2015 Plan To Cut Fleet CO2 Emissions by 90%

Green Car Congress

The plan puts Carolina among the nation’s first campuses committed to reducing its dependence on petroleum by introducing alternative fuels to power the buses, cars, trucks, motorcycles and maintenance vehicles needed in the everyday life of the university. A hydrogen hybrid bus will become part of the university’s shuttle service in January.

ITF: measures to decrease road freight CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

Direct supply of electric energy to the vehicle (“electric roads”), hydrogen and possibly electric batteries are currently foreseeable decarbonizing technologies for heavy-duty long-haulage, although this assumes zero-carbon generation of electric power and hydrogen.

Researchers show mixotrophic fermentation process improves carbon conversion, boosting yields and reducing CO2

Green Car Congress

They can take carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas and turn them into chemicals such as acetone, butanol or ethanol. The amount of CO 2 re-assimilated with mixotrophy depends upon the degree of reduction of the desired metabolite (product). Acetogens are anaerobic bacteria, which cannot grow in oxygenated environments.

Bauhaus Luftfahrt analysis finds solar thermochemical jet fuel production viable only if CO2 captured from renewable sources and not flue gases

Green Car Congress

The solar thermochemical fuel path is based on the high-temperature conversion of water and CO 2 into syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) and oxygen mediated by ceria redox reactions. The syngas is stored and finally converted into jet fuel via the FT process. Click to enlarge. kg CO 2 ‐equiv /L are estimated.
