Study links deterioration of concrete and asphalt to trace quantities of organic matter; diesel exhaust, windshield washer fluids

Green Car Congress

During their experiments, the scientists happened to notice that a strange odor developed when commercial cement was mixed with water. GBS, GHY, TMS, MS TSS and GR refer to different types of aggregates in the mortar. Organic matter in water accelerates deterioration of asphalt pavements.

First reference installation of Opcon Waste Heat Recovery technology for ships; potential for 5–10% fuel savings

Green Car Congress

Opcon, in collaboration with Wallenius Marine, recently completed the first reference installation of its Waste Heat Recovery technology for ocean-going vessels in a project supported by the Swedish Energy Agency. Waste heat is used by a heat exchanger to vaporize a working fluid with a boiling point lower than water. The MV Figaro.

Monash study on solar-driven electrolysis for green hydrogen production cautions on life-cycle emissions and EROI

Green Car Congress

of hydrogen is currently produced via water electrolysis and only a fraction of this production is powered by renewable energy. Taking IRENA’s REmap scenario as a reference, renewable hydrogen could deliver 5% of total final energy demand in 2050. According to the IEA, less than 0.1%

DOE to award up to $24M to advance direct air carbon capture technology

Green Car Congress

Although direct air capture of carbon dioxide (DAC) generally refers to the capture of CO 2 from ambient air, this FOA also considers the removal of CO 2 from partially concentrated air (e.g., building HVAC exhaust) and from natural fluids (e.g., the ocean and surface waters) that received their CO 2 directly from ambient air.

Mercedes-AMG 2L, turbo four-cylinder pushes out up to 421 hp, 500 Nm

Green Car Congress

This means that the turbocharger and the exhaust manifold are now positioned at the rear, on the side of the firewall when viewed from behind. Furthermore, the new arrangement allows much improved air ducting with shorter distances and fewer diversions - both on the intake and exhaust side. Turbocharger.

ICCT study concludes no technical barriers to use of higher blends of ethanol

Green Car Congress

Theoretically, cars operating on higher ethanol blends than the design point could emit greater concentrations of pollutants in exhaust gas. In the cylinder where combustion takes place, the fuel evaporates before it is burned, and this evaporation helps cool off the air/fuel mixture and exhaust gas.
