MIT team exploring using LOHCs directly on-board hydrogen-fueled trucks

Green Car Congress

A team of MIT researchers led by William H. Green, the Hoyt Hottel Professor in Chemical Engineering, is developing a technology that allows liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) not only to deliver hydrogen to the trucks, but also to store the hydrogen onboard. Proposed process flow diagram for onboard dehydrogenation. 3c01919

MIT researchers propose subsea version of pumped hydro for renewable energy storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. These structures would serve both as anchors to moor the floating turbines and as a means of storing the energy they produce. Earlier post.).

MIT researchers develop oxygen permeable membrane that converts CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and thence into useful fuels for cars, trucks, and planes, as well as into chemical feedstocks for a wide variety of products.

ExxonMobil, MIT and Synthetic Genomics team publishes results of LCA on algal biofuels; potential for large reductions in GHG

Green Car Congress

In the accumulation cases, oil accumulated and stored in the algal cells is extracted from biomass that is harvested from the growth ponds. Viability will clearly be governed by technical progress in the areas discussed above as well as a number of other factors including scale-up, cost, and systems integration. —Vasudevan et al.

24M and partners awarded $3.5M from ARPA-E to develop ultra-high-energy density batteries with new lithium-metal anodes

Green Car Congress

The funds will be used to develop novel membranes and lithium-metal anodes for the next generation of high-energy-density, low-cost batteries. The semi-solid thick electrode is a material science innovation originating in Dr. Yet-Ming Chiang’s lab at MIT. (Dr. Those inactive materials are expensive and wasteful.

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

Green Car Congress

This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. This project will develop and optimize a novel, engineered microorganism that produces a biodiesel-equivalent fuel from renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide, at costs of less than $2.50 per gallon. Water will be the primary byproduct.
