Electric or hydrogen cars – which makes more sense for NZ?

Drive Electric

As New Zealand embraces the urgent need for a sustainable future, the automotive industry plays a vital role in shaping how we move and consume energy. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) use Hydrogen to generate electricity, producing only water vapour as a byproduct. What are Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles?

ZeoGas licenses ExxonMobil Methanol-to-Gasoline technology for Gulf Coast plant

Green Car Congress

The conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons and water is virtually complete and essentially stoichiometric in the MTG process. The reaction is exothermic with the reaction heat managed by splitting the conversion in two parts. Most of the hydrocarbon product boils in the gasoline boiling range.

Both Lanzanol and cellulosic ethanol will then be converted to jet fuel via the Alcohol-to-Jet" (ATJ) process developed by LanzaTech and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The catalyst first removes water from the ethanol (dehydration), leaving behind ethylene. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).

per liter), respectively.the results from this preliminary evaluation indicate great potential for producing gasoline from biomass via thermochemical biomass conversion to syngas and the MTG process, and thus warrant a more detailed study. The biomass is chemically converted to a mixture of syngas components (CO, H 2 , CO 2 , CH 4 , etc.),
