Researchers propose testing standards for particulate photocatalysts in solar fuel production

Green Car Congress

Due to the lack of testing standards, it is difficult to compare the results obtained by different research groups or provide a reliable guide for large-scale implementation. Photocatalytic water splitting has attracted great interest as a means of cost-effective conversion of sustainable solar energy to valuable chemicals.

ULEMCo to deliver 20 hydrogen-fueled vehicles for Glasgow; largest hydrogen dual fuel conversion to date

Green Car Congress

ULEMCo’s H2ICED technology—which converts a standard diesel engine to hydrogen dual fuel—ensures that hydrogen is used in the fuel mix when it can burn most efficiently, and with benefits to tailpipe emissions. to ensure tailpipe emissions meet or exceed standards. EGR, SCR etc.)

DOE releases draft guidance for Clean Hydrogen Production Standard (CHPS)

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) released draft guidance for a Clean Hydrogen Production Standard (CHPS), developed to meet the requirements of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Section 40315. The CHPS is not a regulatory standard, and DOE may not necessarily require future funded activities to achieve the standard.

New process uses localized surface plasmons for room-temperature conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have demonstrated a room-temperature method that could significantly reduce carbon dioxide levels in fossil-fuel power plant exhaust, one of the main sources of carbon emissions in the atmosphere.

Stanford engineers develop catalyst strategy to improve turnover frequencies for CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons by orders of magnitude

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford University have shown that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts can drive the selectivity of CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons. Using this technique, they report orders of magnitude higher turnover frequencies for hydrocarbon formation compared to conventional catalysts.
