Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions. The project also includes a proprietary process to convert waste biomass into carbon dioxide and hydrogen to feed the bioreactor, allowing butanol production from waste feedstocks.

The accelerating buildout of solar farms on Earth is already hitting speed bumps, including public pushback against the large tracts of land required and a ballooning backlog of requests for new transmission lines and grid connections. The glamorous vision has inspired numerous futuristic proposals.

The Honda FCX Clarity FCEV and the Toyota Mirai FCEV, both use an electric drive motor and a battery pack. The motors are highly efficient, they have the same torque characteristics and they are silent. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

A new report from the National Research Council examines and, when possible, estimates, “hidden” costs of energy production and use—such as the damage air pollution imposes on human health—that are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from them. of the estimated total.

In some areas where wind and hydropower is wasted at night, the rate can be as low as 2-3 cents per kWh.

Direct Solar Fuels (5 projects). Waste Heat Capture (2 projects). A novel process known as Syngas Chemical Looping (SCL), in which coal and biomass are converted to electricity and CO 2 is efficiently captured, has been successfully demonstrated on a laboratory scale. Energy Efficient Capture of CO 2 from Coal Flue Gas.

Automakers agree on common plug to recharge electric vehicles by Darren Murph , posted Apr 19th 2009 at 4:24PM Just hours after General Motors put forth a proposal for a standardized plug for electric vehicles , in flies this. That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. Every scrap of waste food, garden trimmings and even sewage would be used to ferment gas. but not all of it.

But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. I love the idea of powering my car from solar power. Photovoltaic arrays belong on stationary rooftops -- which is an excellent way to drive on solar power (roof > house > car). Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants?

To deal with this major special waste problem has to my knowledge never ever been brought to the attention of the readers of any paper around the world. Batteries are highly special toxic waste and cannot be dropped on the average dump site, so who is going to pay to get rid of this problem? If you charge with solar, is way less.
