Soletair demo plant produces renewable hydrocarbon fuel from CO2 captured from the air

Green Car Congress

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) are beginning testing of the Soletair demo plant, which uses air-captured carbon dioxide to produce renewable fuels and chemicals. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is used for hydrogen production. Phase 1: Renewable energy.

SwRI D-EGR gasoline demo vehicle delivers diesel efficiency at lower cost; potential for LEV III/Tier 3 emissions

Green Car Congress

In their paper, the SwRI researchers reported that the conversion to D-EGR improved engine efficiency and fuel consumption at least 10% across the performance map, with some operating conditions seeing substantially higher improvements. An SwRI-designed and patented mixer is used to improve cylinder-to-cylinder and temporal EGR imbalance.

Pi Innovo and GaN Systems collaborate to offer electronics design services for auxiliary systems for multi-voltage, hybrid and electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

Hybrids and EVs have a substantial requirement for power conversion; a drive train can be operated up to 100s of kW. GaN can operate at higher junction temperatures and can be air-cooled rather than water-cooled. The GaN Demo PCB is capable of driving motors up to 1.5 kW at 300 V while having a diameter of only 4".
