UD team devises CO2 direct air capture device powered by hydrogen for HEMFCs

Green Car Congress

University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated an effective way to capture 99% of carbon dioxide from the ambient air feed to an hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen. The approach involved internally short-circuiting the device. Source: University of Delaware.

Three-part catalyst study advances conversion of CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

An international collaboration of scientists has taken a significant step toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that can efficiently convert CO 2 and hydrogen into ethanol. There has been much work on carbon dioxide conversion to methanol, yet ethanol has many advantages over methanol.

Volkswagen LCA highlights carbon benefits of EV vs diesel on Golf: 119 vs 140 g CO2/km; ID. family to reduce footprint

Green Car Congress

In the vehicle with an internal combustion engine, most of the emissions occur during the use phase—i.e., Improvements in lithium-ion battery technology and supply chain optimizations will lower the carbon footprint during battery manufacturing for the first ID. The DKI is measured in tons of CO2 equivalent per vehicle.
