PNNL biocrude-to-diesel demo passes 2,000-hour catalyst stability milestone

Green Car Congress

The biocrude oil came from many different sources, including wastewater sludge from Detroit, and food waste collected from prison and an army base. The research showed that essentially any biocrude, regardless of wet-waste sources, could be used in the process and the catalyst remained robust during the entire run.

U.K. Startup’s Digital Dyeing Printers Save Energy, Water

Cars That Think

He had contributed to the invention of Shell mineral oil, which is still being used in our cars. Unsurprisingly: apart from some occasional optimizations (less chemicals, better waste recycling), processes haven’t changed. Miles of fabrics are immersed in gigantic “washing machines” full of dye and water.

This New Breed of Generator Can Run on Almost Any Fuel

Cars That Think

The ammonia reacts with oxygen in air to produce nitrogen gas and water, and the resulting force pushes against the walls of the box. If compression continues after the reaction happens, it fights against the pressure generated by the reaction, wasting energy. If compression stops too soon, the reaction never happens.
