CO2-neutral hydrogen storage with a bicarbonate/formate system

Green Car Congress

Reversible hydrogen storage cycle based on the redox system bicarbonate/formate. Researchers at the Leibnitz Institute for Catalysis (Rostock, Germany) have introduced a new approach to hydrogen storage that is based on simple salts of formic acid and carbonic acid.

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

Green Car Congress

PARC’s proposed approach captures CO 2 from the air and reacts it with hydrogen produced via the electrolysis of water to produce liquid hydrocarbon fuels. The technique uses a solvent such as sodium or potassium hydroxides, converted by reacting with CO 2 to aqueous carbonates or bicarbonates.

Electric Car Manufacturers Inspire New Paradigms -- Seeking Alpha

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

The electric car features three different battery options, two different Lithium-based (LI) systems – A123Systems and Enerdel as well as a Sodium-Nickel battery Zebra (Mes-Dea). There is significant cause vs. effect debate on CO2. It features ABS brakes, dual airbags, and is designed to meet all European and U.S.
