UCLA team proposes non-photosynthetic biological conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

Most of us naturally associate biological CO 2 conversion with photosynthesis in plants and algae. While engineering photosynthetic hosts to convert CO 2 into high-value products is sensible, dependence on sunlight limits its tractability and scalability. Their paper is published in the journal Joule. an and Park. 2020.08.007.

2010 International Estar Tesla Conversion (Re-conversion?)

DIY Electric Car

My college has a senior project for engineers in order to graduate, and I hope to get this van at least moving in the 2 years I have. 2010 International Estar Tesla Conversion (Re-conversion?) I managed to grab a 2010 International Estar in 2021, and recently a 2012 Tesla Model S for the battery and LDU.

Stanford engineers develop catalyst strategy to improve turnover frequencies for CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons by orders of magnitude

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford University have shown that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts can drive the selectivity of CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons. Using this technique, they report orders of magnitude higher turnover frequencies for hydrocarbon formation compared to conventional catalysts. —Zhou et al.

MIT researchers boost efficiency of carbon capture and conversion systems

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT have developed a method that could significantly boost the performance of carbon capture and conversion systems that use catalytic surfaces to enhance the rates of carbon-sequestering electrochemical reactions. The movement through water is sluggish, which slows the rate of conversion of the carbon dioxide.

ULEMCo to deliver 20 hydrogen-fueled vehicles for Glasgow; largest hydrogen dual fuel conversion to date

Green Car Congress

ULEMCo’s H2ICED technology—which converts a standard diesel engine to hydrogen dual fuel—ensures that hydrogen is used in the fuel mix when it can burn most efficiently, and with benefits to tailpipe emissions. This is the first set of conversions for gritter lorries and is the company’s largest volume order to date.
