DLR team integrates solar heat into solid oxide electrolyzer for highly efficient hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

A team at Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) has successfully integrated solar heat into a solid oxide electrolyzer. The experimental setup of the prototype system consisted of a solar simulator, a solar steam generator, a steam accumulator and a solid oxide electrolyzer. Hot steam with a maximum flow rate of 5.0

New plasma synthesis process for one-step conversion of CO2 and methane into higher value fuel and chemicals

Green Car Congress

Instead of using H 2 , direct conversion of CO 2 with CH 4 (dry reforming of methane, DRM) to liquid fuels and chemicals (e.g. CO 2 and CH 4 ) present and produce a variety of chemically reactive species including radicals, excited atoms, molecules and ions.

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

Green Car Congress

Natural photosynthesis uses solar energy to recycle CO 2 (and H 2 O) into new plant life (biomass) and ultimately fuels (biofuels). Our hope is that this present summary helps to catalyse such a worthwhile development. Tags: Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCC) Climate Change Emissions Fuels. Jiang et al. Click to enlarge.

“Project Volt Gas Volt” proposes long-term financing plan to support widespread implementation of power-to-gas systems

Green Car Congress

Project Volt Gas Volt is based on a long-term financing plan and the use of existing technologies for the large-scale conversion of surplus renewable electricity to methane, with subsequent reuse. Dr. Hermann Pengg, head of project management e-fuels, Audi, giving a talk on energy conversion and storage using Power-to-Gas at ASPO 2012.

Biomass fuels: challenges and opportunities – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Leveraging biomass presents a potential avenue to contribute to the global objective of achieving a carbon-neutral human society. While solar and wind provide carbon-free electricity or H 2 through water splitting, they lack the ability to directly produce carbon-based fuels and chemicals without additional carbon sources.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

—Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility. What was the maximum share of wind that we could have in the system without blowing it up—5 percent or 20 percent or 30 percent? What about the pitfalls with energy modeling?

Co-Electrolysis of CO2 and H2O for the Production of Liquid Fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Columbia University’s Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy, in collaboration with Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, DTU, are investigating the high-temperature co-electrolysis of CO 2 and H 2 O using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) to produce a syngas for conversion into liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
