Researchers propose using AC and ventilation systems for decentralized production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of Toronto have proposed a method enabling air conditioning and ventilation systems to produce synthetic fuels from CO 2 and water from the ambient air. The team presents this “crowd oil” concept in Nature Communications. —Professor Dittmeyer.

BioBoost project targets conversion of biomass into intermediate energy carriers for subsequent conversion into fuels, chemicals, power and heat

Green Car Congress

The project, coordinated by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), will start in early 2012. The BioBoost project concentrates on dry and wet residual biomass and wastes as feedstock for de-centralized conversion by fast pyrolysis, catalytic pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization to the intermediate energy carriers oil, coal or slurry.
