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.

MIT team proposes SCR emission control for hybrid aviation turbines; reducing NOx by 95%

Green Car Congress

Now, MIT engineers are proposing using an ammonia-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system that could result in an approximately 95% reduction in NO x emissions in exchange for a ~0.5% The trend towards smaller engine cores with smaller mass flow rates in the core stream, presents new opportunities for emissions control.

New machine learning method from Stanford, with Toyota researchers, could accelerate battery development for EVs

Green Car Congress

Using this methodology, we rapidly identify high-cycle-life charging protocols among 224 candidates in 16 days (compared with over 500 days using exhaustive search without early prediction), and subsequently validate the accuracy and efficiency of our optimization approach. This process iterates until the testing budget is exhausted.

Study finds highly-turbocharged alcohol-fueled DISI engines could be more efficient than diesels

Green Car Congress

Highly turbocharged alcohol-fueled direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engines operated at a high compression ratio could be as or more efficient than diesel engines while also providing advantages of lower vehicle cost, lower emissions and higher power, according to a recent modeling study by Leslie Bromberg and Daniel Cohn at MIT.

MIT engineers develop efficient means of carbon capture using electrochemical cell

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT have developed a new, efficient way to capture carbon that addresses the inherent inefficiencies ( earlier post ) of incumbent technologies, due to their thermal energy losses, large footprint or degradation of sorbent material.
