Study finds copper catalysts work better at converting CO2 to renewable fuel when they gain and lose oxygen atoms

Green Car Congress

JCAP’s mission is to develop efficient, solar-powered technologies that can convert atmospheric CO 2 into petroleum-alternative fuels. The team further showed that although oxide-derived catalysts’ efficiency wanes over time, it can be regularly “reactivated” by re-adding and re-removing oxygen during a simple maintenance process.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs have lower repair and maintenance costs than conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. [ ] Electric drivetrains provide higher reliability and lower costs because they have fewer moving parts and do not require frequent lubrication oil and brake component changes.
