Nanodiamonds enable efficient hydrogen purification

Green Car Congress

Graphene oxide (GO), a water-soluble derivative of graphite, can be assembled to form a membrane that can be used for hydrogen purification. When exposed to humidity, the negatively charged sheets repel each other even more, allowing water molecules to accumulate in the spaces between the GO sheets, which eventually dissolves the membrane.

USDA approves corn amylase trait for Enogen; first approved genetically modified trait for ethanol industry

Green Car Congress

This is the first genetically modified output trait in corn for the ethanol industry. Enogen corn also reduces the energy and water consumed in the production process while substantially reducing carbon emissions. Syngenta has received full deregulation for its corn amylase trait from the US. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

UK Carbon Trust report says fuel cell vehicles could take more than 30% of mid-sized car market by 2050

Green Car Congress

It would also reduce global carbon emissions from vehicles by an additional 260 million tonnes per year by 2050—equivalent to the current annual emissions of Taiwan. Here, the catholyte comes into contact with air and the electron, proton and oxygen from the air react to form water, which exits the regenerator as vapor.

Will AI Steal Submarines’ Stealth?

Cars That Think

Rose Gottemoeller , former deputy secretary general of NATO, warns that “the stealth of submarines will be difficult to sustain, as sensing of all kinds, in multiple spectra, in and out of the water becomes more ubiquitous.” Lidar sensors transmit laser pulses through the water to produce highly accurate 3D scans of objects.

Stanford team reports new low-cost, non-precious metal catalyst for water splitting with performance close to platinum

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford University, with colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and other institutions, have developed a nickel-based electrocatalyst for low-cost water-splitting for hydrogen production with performance close to that of much more expensive commercial platinum electrocatalysts. V with good stability.
