UD team devises CO2 direct air capture device powered by hydrogen for HEMFCs

Green Car Congress

University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated an effective way to capture 99% of carbon dioxide from the ambient air feed to an hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen. Source: University of Delaware. The approach involved internally short-circuiting the device.

EIA releases report on CO2 emissions by state; California led in 2010 with transportation-sector emissions

Green Car Congress

California consistently imports about 30% of its electricity and natural gas is the dominant fuel for the electricity that it generates internally. The greatest percentage decrease in carbon dioxide emissions occurred in Delaware (27.9%, 4.5 From 2000 to 2010, CO 2 emissions fell in 32 states and rose in 18 states. million tonnes).
