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

Green Car Congress

In one of the papers presented at the May conference, Carl Stoots from the Idaho National Laboratory noted that while it is possible to produce syngas by separately electrolyzing steam and CO 2 , there are. significant advantages to co-electrolysis, including lower cell resistance and the reduced possibility of further reduction of CO to C.

DOE and USDA Select Projects for More Than $24M in Biomass Research and Development Grants

Green Car Congress

(Englewood, CO) up to $1,780,862: to develop a yeast fermentation organism that can cost-effectively convert cellulosic-derived sugars into isobutanol, a second-generation biofuel/biobased product. Yenkin-Majestic will use these products to demonstrate a distributed stand-alone system for the operation of a large industrial facility.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.
