Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity.

In late April 2015, Geely Auto deployed a first-of-its-kind fleet of 150 methanol-fueled taxis in the southern Chinese city of Guiyang in cooperation with the municipal government. Vulcanol is CRI’s brand name for renewable methanol, produced from CO 2 and hydrogen from renewable sources of electricity (hydro, geothermal, wind and solar).

On longer timeframes, the refrigerant in your air conditioner will leak into the atmosphere where it, too, will absorb sunlight, possibly even more than CO2 2 , and heat the planet long after the blades of your air conditioner’s fan have stopped spinning. This year, the U.S. Still, in the U.S.,

Joule, the developer of a direct, single-step, continuous process for the production of solar hydrocarbon fuels ( earlier post ), has extended its solar CO 2 conversion platform to produce renewable gasoline- and jet fuel-range hydrocarbons.

And it produces almost all its electricity from hydro and solar. Credit the EV’s advantage to its greater efficiency in the conversion of chemical energy to motion—77 percent, compared with 12 to 30 percent for a gasoline car—along with the potential to generate electricity using low-carbon sources. fleet of light vehicles.

So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015. If you charge with solar, is way less. In most conversions cost is about the same because of needless weight. The huge hill of used batteries represents a major problem with the toxic acid and lead inside.
