Joule has commissioned its first SunSprings demonstration plant in Hobbs, New Mexico ( earlier post ), where the company will prove its scalable platform for solar fuel production using a fraction of the land and capital investment required for algae-derived or agricultural biofuels. The initial output of the SunSprings plant will be ethanol.

The highest variations are observed for biodiesel from palm oil and soya. Production and use of biodiesel from palm oil on deforested peatlands in the tropics can lead to significant increases in greenhouse gas emissions—up to 2,000% or more when compared with fossil fuels.

Another segment exclusive with the eight-speed transmission is a new thermal management system that is designed to quickly raise engine and transmission fluid temperatures. By raising fluid temperatures, parasitic losses resulting from high-viscosity engine oil and transmission fluid can be reduced, improving fuel efficiency by 1.7%.

Clean-sheet engine design. The new Ecotec small-displacement engine family featured in the Cruze represents a clean-sheet design and engineering process, leveraging the diverse experience of GM’s global resources. Variable-flow oil pump enhances efficiency. A die-cast aluminum oil pan contributes additional structural strength.

Fats and greases and inedible oils are opportunity feedstocks, but the US supply of fats and greases is probably on the order of less than 10 million barrels, closer to 1-2 million barrels on an annual basis. Really the question is can the feedstocks be procured at a price competitive to petroleum oil. Earlier post.)

Frank has spent more than 30 years in breakthrough vehicle development, during which he received two world records for vehicle fuel economy, designed nine generations of PHEVs, and was a four-time winner of US DOE Advanced Vehicle Design competitions. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.

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. Aerodynamically-optimized design with a drag coefficient of 0.25, the electric e-tron quattro drivetrain delivers up to 370 kW of power output. Pouch cells and prismatic cells are more versatile.

V2G helps solve the major problem that demand for electricity is high during the day when everything from industrial plants to air conditioning is running full blast and then excess electricity is wasted at night. The current electrical grid is poorly designed for distributed generation of power. Then we are done! No more big energy!!
