Libertine awarded $3.6M to develop renewable-fueled free-piston-engine range extenders for battery electric trucks

Green Car Congress

Libertine says that free-piston range-extender engines can offer the efficiency of fuel cells, the durability of conventional engines and achieve carbon reductions using renewable fuels. This technology enables improved cold start performance using wet or ‘hydrous’ bioethanol fuel, a blend of 90% bioethanol and 10% water (E90W10).

Exhausted: How We Can Stop Lithium Mining from Depleting Water Resources, Draining Wetlands, and Harming Communities in South America

CleanTechnica EVs

However, many green technologies, such as electric vehicles and renewable power plants, depend on lithium-ion batteries, which require lithium. To mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, we must transition away from fossil fuels like petroleum and coal and toward clean energy generation and zero-emission transportation options.

Empa and partners exploring DME as fuel with new heavy-duty test engine

Green Car Congress

An electrically driven compressor for precise exhaust gas recirculation is also used. The researchers are starting with a medium-load driving style that is common in highway operation, where the engine must deliver 100 kW of power. This is done via exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Water is formed as a by-product.

Hydrogen Is Coming to the Rescue

Cars That Think

And in the aftermath of a natural disaster like a tornado or wildfire, the vehicle, called H2Rescue , can supply electric power and potable water to survivors while acting as a temperature-controlled command center for rescue personnel. The hybrid electric box truck they’ve come up with is carbon neutral. Nicholas Josefik, U.S.
