PNNL’s hydrothermal liquefaction shows promise for turning toxic algal blooms into biocrude

Green Car Congress

One year into the ERDC project, the team demonstrated a three-step approach that “cleans” the water, removes the algae and entrained nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, and transforms the algae into a potential energy source. Algae biorefinery concept through HTL. It was a great proof of concept.

Parker Hannifin gaining traction with RunWise HD hydraulic hybrid; developing CNG-based HD system, next-gen MD system

Green Car Congress

Further, Parker Hannifin has paired a RunWise transmission with a CNG engine in the series hybrid powertrain as a one-off to test the waters for such a combination, McGrew said. As pumps they use mechanical energy to deliver high-pressure oil. As motors they accept high-pressure oil and deliver mechanical energy to drive the vehicle.
