Kreutz used two examples of CCTF systems in his analysis: biodiesel from microalgae and Sandia National Laboratory’s S2P process (an effort to utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels, earlier post ). Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., their CO 2 (e.g. ~90%)

Central to the project is the use of a compact high-speed flywheel as an energy store, recycling the kinetic energy that would otherwise be wasted whenever the vehicle brakes. Flywheel hybrids, just like electrical hybrids, recycle the kinetic energy that would otherwise be wasted when the vehicle brakes.

The new 'Coasting - Engine off' micro hybrid system represents a low-cost level of electric-powered motoring on a 12-volt basis. A key factor in its low emissions is the optimum conversion of the methane in the exhaust gas. e-gas is ideal for making renewable power usable for the transport sector and for storing it.

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. But use of petroleum will continue.

You waste a little bit of silicon, but silicon’s pretty cheap. Not only were development costs absorbed in company overhead, but there was no markup to pay, as there would have been inf the chips had been built by another company. When the design of the Commodore 64 began, the overriding goals were simplicity and low cost.
