Alliance Formed to Commercialize Solar Reforming Technologies to Convert Waste CO2 into Synthetic Fuel

Green Car Congress

An alliance of industry, academic and government organizations has formed to commercialize technologies that will utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels. Sandia began working on research, development and demonstration of solar reforming technologies more than 20 years ago. Source: Sandia.

A closer look at why heat pumps are dominating EV HVAC systems

Charged EVs

Unfortunately, most vehicles of any kind have little or no insulation to prevent the gain or loss of heat from the cabin and, worse, the copious amounts of glass and metal comprising the vehicle body make an efficient collector (or radiator) of heat, bearing more than a passing resemblance to a solar thermal panel for heating water.

UNEP Report Calls for More Sophisticated Approach to Developing Biofuels; Limitations of Current LCA Studies

Green Car Congress

While this mainly depends on the feedstock and conversion technology, other factors including methodological assumptions also have an impact. Another constraint is the way land conversion related impacts are attributed. Life-cycle assessments (LCA) of biofuels show a wide range of net greenhouse gas savings compared to fossil fuels.
