Exploring the catalytic deoxygenation of bio liquids to form liquid hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

Although bio-based resources such as waste biomass, vegetable oils and animal fats are considered as promising sources for delivering large quantities of non-petroleum liquid fuels, the abundance of oxygen in the form of various aliphatic and aromatic oxygenates decreases the quality of the resulting biofuels. 2010.09.004.

CMU team finds regional temperature differences have significant impact on EV efficiency, range and emissions

Green Car Congress

Cold temperatures, on the other hand, are particularly disadvantageous for BEVs, since vehicles with internal combustion engines can use engine waste heat for cabin heating, whereas in BEVs heat must be generated using limited onboard stored electrical energy. For grid emission factors, they used a recent analysis by Graff Zivin et al.
