11 Intriguing Engineering Milestones to Look for in 2023

Cars That Think

As a bonus, the tech onboard the balloons runs on solar power. The station, called Fengning and located about 200 kilometers north of Beijing, will store up to 40 gigawatt-hours of energy, and help keep the grid on clean energy when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun’s not shining. Laptops will have to follow sometime in 2026.

Co-Electrolysis of CO2 and H2O for the Production of Liquid Fuels

Green Car Congress

In one of the papers presented at the May conference, Carl Stoots from the Idaho National Laboratory noted that while it is possible to produce syngas by separately electrolyzing steam and CO 2 , there are. significant advantages to co-electrolysis, including lower cell resistance and the reduced possibility of further reduction of CO to C.
