DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design. The University of Michigan. The University of Michigan proposes the RAFT concept as a solution for hydrokinetic energy harvesting. It has a low maintenance cost, resulting in a lower cost of energy.

Commercial dewatering enzyme could reduce costs of grain ethanol production

Green Car Congress

The researchers found that the enzyme helps extract water from an ethanol byproduct used to make dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), which can be used as feed supplements for cattle, swine and poultry. Washington University in St. helped lead the study. and reduce natural gas consumption by 12%.

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at George Washington University led by Prof. The C2CNT production is achieved at a fraction of the current cost of manufacturing nanotubes and results in a cost of carbon savings in the materials production significantly below the current cost of carbon mitigation.

New WSU palladium-iron catalyst could improve drop-in biofuels production from pyrolysis oils

Green Car Congress

Washington State University researchers have developed a new palladium-iron hydrodeoxygenation catalyst (Pd/Fe 2 O 3 ) that could lead to making drop-in biofuels cheaply and more efficiently. Palladium can work in water, but it is not terrific at removing oxygen; and the metal is very expensive. Credit: ACS, Hensley et al.
