Oxford Team Outlines Progress and Potential in CO2 Capture and Conversion to Synthetic Transportation Fuels

Green Car Congress

The authors highlight three possible strategies for CO 2 conversion by physico-chemical approaches: sustainable (or renewable) synthetic methanol; syngas production derived from flue gases from coal-, gas- or oil-fired electric power stations; and photochemical production of synthetic fuels. Jiang et al. Kuznetsov and P.

EPA Posts Peer Review of Renewable Fuel Standards Lifecycle Analysis

Green Car Congress

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has posted the peer review of the renewable fuel standards lifecycle analysis—including significant indirect emissions, such as from indirect land use changes— online. At the time, Administrator Jackson announced the lifecycle analysis would be peer-reviewed. Source: EPA workshop, June 2009.

UK study finds Bio-SNG could offer 90% reduction in lifecycle CO2; lower cost of carbon abatement than electrical solutions for transport applications

Green Car Congress

Unlike biomethane produced by anaerobic digestion, Bio-SNG is formed by the conversion of thermally-derived syngas—i.e., Bio-methane retains all the attributes of natural gas, with the crucial advantage that the fuel is renewable, offering substantial Carbon Dioxide savings. Cost of carbon abated for transport applications.

Flash Drive: 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup

Clean Fleet Report

The take-away is there is a whole lot to absorb, which is why this Flash Drive review will hit the high points of the Hummer EV, with a more detailed Road Test review coming later in the year. We tried it and it works, but needing this technology is another conversation for another day. They have done it, and it is electric.

FEV, Inc. to Show Full-Sized Pickup Truck with Solid SCR System for NOx Reduction

Green Car Congress

This is followed by the endothermic thermal decomposition of ammonium carbamate, in a concentrated solution, to give a 50-60% conversion to urea.). A number of companies have investigated ammonium carbamate-based SCR systems; sublimation of the carbamate is achieved by a local heater (spray or electrically warmed oil circulation).

DOE Issues RFI for Fuel Cells For Combined Heating and Power and APU Applications; Reflective of New Direction for Hydrogen Program

Green Car Congress

We will be technology-neutral, and look at diverse fuels—not just hydrogen, but natural gas, biogas, and other fuels that are readily available and for diverse applications, that can have near-term impact. Satyapal, at the DOE Merit Review meetings. Apportionment of CHP energy between electrical and thermal energy. 1-10 kW.
