LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

Petronas, which invested in LanzaTech’s C round ( earlier post ), is now committed via the new agreement to help work through the technology with LanzaTech. Part of the challenge is locating sufficient quantities of hydrogen to enable large scale use of the CO 2 in waste gases. This is now being developed further, says Burton.

U Michigan team boosting efficiency of thermoelectric materials; potential of reaching 15-20% efficiency could result in practical applications

Green Car Congress

At that level of efficiency, TE materials become useful in practical applications such as waste heat recovery in vehicles, Kaviany noted. But we did not know what features we could manipulate to maximize the conversion of heat into electricity. Car companies are extremely interested in this technology, Uher said. Earlier post.).
