A planned network of landing spots will let eVTOLs recharge their batteries between flights, keeping people above the hustle and bustle (and traffic tie-ups) that come standard with taking private cars or taxis on city streets. This flash Joule heating process can also extract rare earths from fly ash, a by-product of coal combustion.

The standard provides that HC-HEFA-SPK fuel, the development of which was led by IHI Corporation, may be blended at up to 10% by volume with conventional jet fuel. The gas mixture is separated and cleaned to produce pure syngas, and it is then converted to long carbon chain waxes through the FT Synthesis Process. Feedstock(s): Syngas.

For power generation in the US, natural gas is commonly used in both simple-cycle natural gas turbines and combined-cycle natural gas turbines which use waste heat recovery to increase electrical generating efficiency. In each case there are multiple processes to convert natural gas to motive power, all of which have losses.

Fuel combustion releases energy by converting carbon to CO 2 , but some is only converted to CO, losing some of the available chemical energy. High-efficiency combustion processes, such as modern power plants and cars that meet current standards, produce little or no CO, and are thus both more energy-efficient and cleaner.

They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. The upshot is that a portion of the green electricity will have to be converted to other types of energy appropriate for specific applications. Experts call this Power-to-X (PtX).

70% of the energy from burning fossil fuel is wasted as heat, while only 30% goes to turn your wheels. So after we use all that electricity pumping oil out of the ground, refining it, transporting it, we then waste 70% when we burn it. These cars and trucks have internal combustion engines that are extremely inefficient.

Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.
