Navigator CO2 to provide ~600k TPA of CO2 as a feedstock for ultra-low carbon Infinium eFuels

Green Car Congress

The system will provide the infrastructure and network to connect industrial emitters of CO 2 to new and developing markets for their carbon, while ensuring project developers, such as Infinium, have access to a diversified, consistent, and ratable CO 2 supply.

Study finds US refining sector could produce higher octane E20 and E30 at modest additional cost; enabling more efficient engines

Green Car Congress

A new study concludes that using ethanol can be a cost-effective approach to increasing the octane rating of the US gasoline pool. A number of studies recently have pointed out that increasing the octane rating of the US gasoline pool (currently ?93 30 vol % (assuming federal regulations were modified to allow such fuels).

WUSTL researchers demonstrate solar-panel-powered microbial electrosynthesis to produce n-butanol from light, CO2 and power

Green Car Congress

The resulting biofuel, n -butanol, is a carbon-neutral fuel alternative that can be used in blends with diesel or gasoline. The results are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Communications Biology. Other researchers previously have explored the use of microbes such as cyanobacteria to produce sustainable biofuels.
