My Electric Car

AUGUST 21, 2020

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Proponents believe such a car could be easily refuelled with hydrogen and assumed it would have greater range than a pure all-electric car.

Researchers at Kyoto University in Japan have proposed a novel two-stage process to convert low-rank coals or biomass wastes under mild conditions to high-quality liquid fuel. Also, liquefying high-oxygen content low-ranking coal and biomass also consumes more hydrogen and produces more CO 2 , significantly reducing process efficiency.
