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

Green Car Congress

Schematic of the HP-BPMED device used in the renewable fuels research. (a) PARC is developing a non-biological approach for producing liquid fuels from renewable energy, air, CO 2 and water. As long as the energy for the process is renewably generated, PARC notes, the overall process is carbon-neutral. Click to enlarge.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Further, according to a report from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), gasoline and diesel ICE vehicle technologies fueled on a fossil/biofuel mix emit approximately 245–253 g CO2 eq./km Whereas, battery EVs fueled on average grid electricity emit 105–124 g CO2 eq./km, years if the car is charged using renewable energy.
