ARPA-E Selects 37 Projects for $106M in Funding in Second Round; Electrofuels, Better Batteries and Carbon Capture

Green Car Congress

Today’s technologies for making biofuels all rely on photosynthesis—either indirectly by converting plants to fuels or directly by harnessing photosynthetic organisms such as algae. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. Engineering E. Reducing equivalent: Electrons; Organism: E.

ARPA-E to award up to $30M for intermediate-temperature fuel cell systems for distributed generation; exploring storage and power-to-fuels

Green Car Congress

Excess electricity generated by the renewable resource could be used to electrochemically convert gaseous fuel such as methane to a liquid chemical to be stored in bulk. The final performance metrics must be met with the use of a non-hydrogen gas or liquid fuel. Technical targets for Category 2. Click to enlarge.
