Empa researchers investigating new process for production of synthetic methane

Green Car Congress

Methanization works by producing methane (CH 4 ) and water (H 2 O) by catalytic conversion from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ). Water causes problems with conventional processes, however; to remove it, serial methanization stages are typically required—with condensation areas in between. Schröter K.,

Researchers develop new stable artificial photosynthesis device to produce ethylene and hydrogen from sunlight and CO2

Green Car Congress

The authors also provide new insight into how electrons and charge carriers called “holes” contribute to degradation in artificial photosynthesis. By understanding how materials and devices transform under operation, we can design approaches that are more durable and thus reduce waste.

Lamborghini unveils Lanzador electric concept

Green Car Congress

Following the presentation of the V12 plug-in hybrid Revuelto ( earlier post ), the Lanzador gives an insight into the series model to be built from 2028. Sustainable leather is leather that is tanned with special water in a particularly environmentally friendly way. 100 percent merino wool.

Researchers observe hydrogen-oxygen reaction in ceria fuel cell; insights may improve efficiency

Green Car Congress

These ions then make their way to the anode where they react with hydrogen molecules to form the cell’s primary waste product: water. In the Nature Communications paper, Chueh and his colleagues at Berkeley, Sandia and SLAC split water into hydrogen and oxygen (and vice versa) in a cerium oxide fuel cell. —William Chueh.

Carbon2Chem project completes first phase, receives €75M from German government toward phase 2

Green Car Congress

Involving 16 further partners, the project, which is funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), has over the past four years gathered fundamental insights into the conversion of steel mill process gases into chemical products. In addition to the CO 2 from these gases, Carbon2Chem also uses hydrogen.

MIT researchers advancing development of supercritical water upgrading of heavy crude; lower cost, energy use and CO2

Green Car Congress

Findings by MIT researchers could help advance the commercialization of supercritical water technology for the desulfurization and upgrading of high-sulfur crude oil into high-value, cleaner fuels such as gasoline without using hydrogen—a major change in refining technology that would reduce costs, energy use, and CO 2 emissions.
