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.

DOE Critical Materials Institute rare-earth recycling invention licensed to US Rare Earths

Green Car Congress

The membrane solvent extraction system, invented by CMI partners Oak Ridge and Idaho national laboratories, is the first commercially licensed technology developed through the CMI. The recycling of critical materials from electronic waste has been limited by processing technologies that are inefficient, costly and environmentally hazardous.
