A high-efficiency heat pump absorbs the waste heat from the electrical components and a thermoelectric auxiliary heating element maintain pleasant temperatures inside the car. When the car is braked it stores the recovered energy. 3-way power DC/DC converter. The car starts down to -28 ˚C. mi)—i.e., about 6 kg.

Audi says that its e-gas project provides an answer to the question as to how green power can be efficiently stored, irrespective of location. If there are strong sea winds, for instance, then surplus power supplies can be converted to e-gas and stored in the largest available energy-storage system: the public gas network.

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. Electrofuels: Biofuels from Electricity. Engineering E.

The system consists of two polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzers in series with one InGaP/GaAs/GaInNAsSb triple-junction solar cell, which produces a large-enough voltage to drive both electrolyzers with no additional energy input. The prior record was 24.4%. V at 300 K, with practical operating voltages in the range of 1.5–1.9 V.

This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. The plate has an integrated primary coil and an inverter (AC/AC converter).

The oxygen is released as waste and the protons and electrons are used to convert carbon dioxide into the carbohydrate sugars that plants use for energy. While artificial photosynthesis can be used to generate electricity, fuels can be a more effective means of storing and transporting energy.

Waste Heat Capture (2 projects). A novel process known as Syngas Chemical Looping (SCL), in which coal and biomass are converted to electricity and CO 2 is efficiently captured, has been successfully demonstrated on a laboratory scale. Biomass Energy (5 projects). Carbon Capture (5 projects). Direct Solar Fuels (5 projects).

By contrast to other processes, our membrane technology needs no auxiliary chemicals; nor does it generate any solid wastes or effluents that would need to be disposed of. The technology is based on membranes produced from high-performance polymers that in the past have been processed into fibers and used in hot-gas filtration.
