SEMA sponsors ZEV conversion rebate bill in California; up to $2,000 rebate

Green Car Congress

Portantino (D-25) and Josh Newman (D-29) introduced Senate Bill 301 , a bill sponsored by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), to create a financial rebate program for converting gas and diesel-powered motor vehicles into zero-emissions-vehicles (ZEVs). Eligible converted ZEVs would need a range of at least 100 miles.

Three-part catalyst study advances conversion of CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

An international collaboration of scientists has taken a significant step toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that can efficiently convert CO 2 and hydrogen into ethanol. There has been much work on carbon dioxide conversion to methanol, yet ethanol has many advantages over methanol.
