EPFL team develops low-cost catalyst for splitting CO2

Green Car Congress

The system uses the same catalyst for the cathode that reduces CO 2 to CO and for the anode that oxidizes water to oxygen through the oxygen evolution reaction. Using only Earth-abundant materials to catalyze both reactions, this design keeps the cost of the system low. It included a contribution from Abengoa Research in Spain.

Solar-to-Jet-Fuel System Readies for Take-Off

Cars That Think

Using concentrated solar energy, they were able to produce kerosene from water vapor and carbon dioxide directly from air. Syngas is produced by Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis , in which chemical reactions convert carbon monoxide and water vapor into hydrocarbons. A centralized control room operates the whole system.

Neste to receive €88M from EU toward green hydrogen and carbon capture & storage at Porvoo; SHARC

Green Car Congress

The novel water electrolysis technology applied by SHARC has a capacity of 50 MW. ECOPLANTA aims to convert non-recyclable fractions of municipal solid waste to chemicals and biofuels. SHARC will also scale the production of green hydrogen to help make it a viable transportation fuel itself.

Europe Expands Virtual Borders To Thwart Migrants

Cars That Think

The cost of shifting from rescue operations to border enforcement may be harder journeys for migrants and the deaths of some. When the 2015 migration surge to Europe began, Spain employed one of the most technologically advanced border-control systems in Europe: the Integrated External Vigilance System, or SIVE (the Spanish acronym).

Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. Today, nearly 120 projects operate worldwide, and Spain claims more than a third of total installed capacity. In recent years, however, CSP development stalled amid the rapidly falling cost of solar PV. It's flexible.
