U Delaware team demonstrates efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for vehicles

Green Car Congress

The researchers started by analyzing the economics of hydrogen-, nitrogen-, and carbon-based fuels made by carbon-neutral pathways in a post-fossil world in which only water, air, and renewable electricity are available for fuel synthesis. Source-to-tank cost comparison of carbon-neutral transportation fuels. Assisted by a $2.5-million

True Zero’s California hydrogen network hits 2M miles fueled mark; second 1M miles in 60 days

Green Car Congress

True Zero , which operates the world’s largest network of hydrogen charging stations, has powered two-million miles of zero-emission driving on California roads 60 days after reaching its first million miles. This kind of ramp means customers are choosing electric fuel cells as a vehicle that does it all, but with zero emissions.

Researchers advance detonation wave propulsion for hypersonic flight

Green Car Congress

A standing oblique detonation wave, stabilized on a ramp, is created in a hypersonic flow of hydrogen and air. Flow diagnostics, such as high-speed shadowgraph and chemiluminescence imaging, show detonation initiation and stabilization and are corroborated through comparison to simulations.

Scripps research ship fueled by 100% NEXBTL renewable diesel for 1 year; emissions analysis

Green Car Congress

In 2014, Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a grant from the US Department of Transportation to test the use of biofuel on the research vessel Robert Gordon Sproul for more than a year. Further, the decrease in NO x was a welcome surprise, since many other types of biofuel have shown increased NO x emissions, said Betha.

German OEMs to upgrade emissions control on 5.3M Euro 5 and 6 diesels, contribute to €500M Sustainable Mobility fund

Green Car Congress

German auto manufacturers will optimize the emissions systems in 5.3 The aim is a 30% reduction in NO x emissions from these vehicles by the end of 2018. Nitrogen oxide emissions (NO x ) in particular require comprehensive efforts to improve the health protection of citizens. Further steps required.
