DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

Heavy-duty diesel vehicles using mixing controlled compression ignition (MCCI), the most common ignition and combustion strategies for heavy-duty diesel engines, contribute significantly to the emissions of GHG, oxides of nitrogen (NO x ), and particular matter (PM) and are subject to stringent emission standards.

Researchers propose testing standards for particulate photocatalysts in solar fuel production

Green Car Congress

In this regard, photocatalytic water splitting has attracted significant interest as a cost-effective means to convert sustainable solar energy into valuable chemicals. Due to the lack of testing standards, it is difficult to compare the results obtained by different research groups or provide a reliable guide for large-scale implementation.

Standard Lithium completes proof-of-concept of lithium extraction & crystallization; better than battery-quality lithium carbonate

Green Car Congress

Canada-based Standard Lithium Ltd. Successful operation of the technology at pre-commercial continuous scale has directly extracted lithium from brine in Arkansas and produced a purified, concentrated intermediate product (LiCl solution) which has been converted to better than battery-quality lithium carbonate final product.

Strategic Biofuels successfully tests carbon capture and storage for renewable diesel plant

Green Car Congress

These results enable us to move forward knowing that combining CCS with conversion of sustainable forestry waste to renewable diesel at our project site will enable us to achieve our deeply negative carbon footprint goal. The program used oil field workers and traditional oilfield equipment to advance this green energy project.
