GE, INL Researchers Collaborate on Waste Heat Recovery Research

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and GE Global Research are collaborating on a two-year, public-private partnership project designed to optimize an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) process to convert low-temperature waste heat (below 500 °) from gas turbine or reciprocating engine exhaust to produce electricity.

The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion. Shipping uses over 300 million tonnes of fossil fuels every year, producing 3 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
