Researchers demonstrate efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2+ alcohols

Green Car Congress

Researchers in China led by a team from Fudan University have demonstrated the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 toward C 2+ alcohols with a faradaic efficiency of ~70% using copper (Cu) catalysts with stepped sites. Schematic of the synthesis of electrocatalysts and the subsequent CO 2 RR process. (A

New modeling study suggests wind farm power generation capacity has been significantly overestimated

Green Car Congress

Research in mesoscale atmospheric modeling by the University of North Carolina (UNC) Charlotte’s Amanda S. Adams and Harvard University’s David W. Keith suggests that the power capacity of large-scale wind farms may have been significantly overestimated. Large-scale wind farms can comprise hundreds of tower-mounted turbines.

Stanford study finds current carbon capture technology inefficient & increases air pollution

Green Car Congress

Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, suggests that carbon capture technologies are inefficient and increase air pollution. Wind replacing fossil fuels always reduces air pollution and never has a capture equipment cost. Only when wind replaced coal itself did social costs decrease.
