VW Commercial Vehicles unveils e-BULLI; electric T1

Green Car Congress

VWCV partner eClassics is planning to offer T1 conversions and T1 complete vehicles in the style of the new e-BULLI. As the basis for the future e-BULLI the team chose a T1 Samba Bus produced in Hannover in 1966, which prior to its conversion spent half a century on the roads of California. As in the new ID.3

DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

estimated that with conversion by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and upgrading, the wet waste resource availability in the United States could be converted to jet fuel that is equivalent to about 24% of the U.S. Skaggs et al. demand in 2016. —Ou et al. 1c06561.

Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

In comparison, the Brayton cycle has a theoretical conversion efficiency upwards of 50%. In the future, this heat could come from nuclear fuel, burning fossil fuels or even highly concentrated sunlight. The recuperator improves the overall efficiency of the system. Importance of advanced power electronics.

Cornell team suggests engineered bacteria could address current limitations of energy storage technologies

Green Car Congress

We are suggesting a new approach where we stitch together biological and non-biological electrochemical engineering to create a new method to store energy. Natural photosynthesis already offers an example for storing solar energy at a huge scale, and turning it into biofuels in a closed carbon loop.

Ford Europe leading project investigating DME and OME1 as low carbon, near zero particulate fuels; power-to-liquids pathways using CO2

Green Car Congress

The comparison to the electric vehicle is based on estimates which factor in the CO 2 emissions resulting from fuel production, with the DME-powered vehicle figure calculated from the use of renewable energy to generate the DME fuel, and the electric vehicle figure calculated from electricity generated from renewable resources.

Reliability, uptime and the next generation of EV chargers – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

The future of EV development and infrastructure, in many ways, hinges on the perceived answers to this question. One natural comparison that people will make, for example, is what it’s like to “fill up” your vehicle at a station (either with gasoline or using a charger).

U Chicago, MIT study suggests ongoing use of fossil fuels absent new carbon taxes

Green Car Congress

The development of better battery technology for storing electricity, is vital for increased use of renewables in both electricity and transportation, where electric vehicles can be plugged into the grid for charging. What are the prospects for avoiding this dystopian future? F of warming. . F of warming.
