Compact pilot plant for solar to liquid fuels production

Green Car Congress

Partners from Germany and Finland in the SOLETAIR project are building a compact pilot plant for the production of gasoline, diesel and kerosene from solar energy, regenerative hydrogen and carbon dioxide. An electrolysis unit developed by Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) produces the required hydrogen by means of solar power.

Ford, Volkswagen, and GM Explore EV-Powered Houses

Cars That Think

According to Ford, that translates to three days for an average 30 kilowatt-per-hour-per-day house with the extended-range Lightning battery, or as long as 10 days when used with a home solar power system that is equipped with a transfer switch that disconnects the house from the grid. And that’s much cheaper than a new $1,300 kit.
