LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

Another challenge is—assuming successful large scale commercialization is possible—what to do with all the resulting acetic acid. Accordingly, LanzaTech has begun look at the industrial conversion of acetic acid/acetate to lipids, and has demonstrated this. Lipids, in turn, are a proven pathway to jet, diesel and gasoline.

BP Products to Pay Nearly $180M to Settle Violations at Texas City Refinery; Conversion of Diesel Vehicles to Natural Gas Part of Settlement

Green Car Congress

As part of the settlement, the company will spend an additional $6 million to reduce air pollution from diesel vehicle emissions in Texas City and the surrounding area. BP will eliminate approximately 51,000 pounds of HCFCs by retrofitting industrial and commercial cooling appliances at Texas City to use non-ozone-depleting refrigerants.

GE Hydrocarbon Lean NOx Catalyst Technology Matches Performance of Urea-Based SCR Systems

Green Car Congress

GE has reached an important performance threshold in the development of a proprietary silver-based Hydrocarbon Lean NOx Catalyst (HC-LNC) aftertreatment solution designed to reduce NO x emissions from diesel engines. E85 opens up a variety of diesel engine markets where a small on-board tank of readily available E85 will supply the reductant.

Tenneco and GE Transportation to Develop Hydrocarbon-SCR Technology for Diesel Emission Aftertreatment

Green Car Congress

Results from a 2007 GE study on HC-SCR showing %NO x conversion with 0 ppm H 2 , b) 1900 ppm H 2. The two companies also announced that Tenneco has been awarded a development contract for locomotive projects and that Tenneco is positioned to become a long-term strategic supplier of diesel aftertreatment solutions to GE Transportation.

Primus Green Energy to support gas-to-liquids research at Princeton University; comparing STG+ to other GTL platforms

Green Car Congress

STG+ technology converts syngas into drop-in high-octane gasoline and jet fuel with a conversion efficiency of ~35% by mass of syngas into liquid transportation fuels (the highest documented conversion efficiency in the industry) or greater than 70% by mass of natural gas.

Plug-In Hybrids (or Plugin Hybrids)

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

model in 2001 by the DOEs Argonne National Lab estimates hybrids reduce greenhouse gases by 22%, and plug-in hybrids by 36% (see table 2). Finally, looking at the non-electric fuel, instead of using gasoline for long-trips, PHEVs could run on bio-diesel, cellulose ethanol, or other bio-fuels to further reduce greenhouse gases.
