Electric or hydrogen cars – which makes more sense for NZ?

Drive Electric

As New Zealand embraces the urgent need for a sustainable future, the automotive industry plays a vital role in shaping how we move and consume energy. One of the primary advantages of HFCVs is their ability to provide a long driving range and quick refuelling times, mirroring the convenience of traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.

DOE awards LanzaTech $4M for low-carbon jet & diesel demo plant; 3M gpy; Audi evaluating fuel properties

Green Car Congress

LanzaTech captures the waste gas from refineries and manufacturing plants and feeds the CO-rich gas to microbes that consume the gas and produce ethanol. To demonstrate process versatility, ethanol from other waste gas streams will be converted, including cellulosic ethanol produced via fermentation of biomass syngas by Aemetis.

Global Bioenergies and LanzaTech to collaborate to assess the bioproduction of isobutene from carbon monoxide

Green Car Congress

In a paper earlier this year describing a new mixed oxide catalyst for the direct conversion of bio-ethanol to isobutene, researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) noted that trimerization of isobutene produces tri-isobutenes, which can be used as an additive for jet fuel.

Aquaflow signs cooperation agreement with CRI Catalyst Company to develop renewable fuels from algae and multi-biomass stock using IH2 catalytic pyrolysis

Green Car Congress

Early this year, CRI acquired exclusive global sublicensing rights for the IH 2 technology from Illinois-based Gas Technology Institute (GTI) where the technology was developed. GTI says that renewable gasoline (RG) produced by the IH 2 process results in more than 90% lower greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum-based fuels.
