DOE to award up to $6.7M to projects to convert captured CO2 to useful products, including fuels

Green Car Congress

million in federal funding for cost-shared projects that will develop technologies that utilize CO 2 from coal-fired power plants to produce useful products. Research has shown that CO 2 can be converted to a variety of commodities, but because of the low energy state of CO 2 , the production costs would be prohibitive in many cases.

$12+M awarded to 4 projects seeking to design crops with ability to fix their own nitrogen; no artificial fertilizers

Green Car Congress

it needs to be converted into a form that plants can use. This project aims to design and build a synthetic biological module that could work inside a cell to perform the function of “fixing” nitrogen for plants. While some organisms can fix nitrogen, they have to have special adaptations to limit oxygen.
