Pitt engineers using membrane distillation to recycle water used in fracking and drilling

Green Car Congress

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering are using membrane distillation technology to enable drillers to filter and reuse the produced water in the oil and gas industry, in agriculture, and other beneficial uses. The team is back in the lab to find a fix. Desalination. doi: 10.1016/j.desal.2021.115513.

Oxford team directly converts CO2 to jet fuel using iron-based catalysts

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method to convert CO 2 directly into aviation fuel using a novel, inexpensive iron-based catalyst. Jet fuel can then be obtained from the products after industrially recognized treatments such as distillation or hydro-isomerization. Fe 5 C 2 respectively.

MAN presents hydrogen roadmap; use in fuel cells and combustion engines

Green Car Congress

Apart from the rapid development of battery technology, hydrogen is a good complementary option as an alternative fuel for long-distance transport. MAN is testing both the use of a fuel cell and an H 2 combustion engine. When in use, fuel cells do not cause any climate-damaging emissions, as they only emit water vapor.
