Cleaner EVs, Aptera, cheap gas and ethanol: Today’s Car News

Green Car Reports

Electric cars are cleaner than gas cars almost everywhere. A study from the UK has found that electric cars are now cleaner than gasoline cars in 95% of. Ethanol faces more challenges at the pump. Battery-electric trains catch on in Europe. And will an activist strategy about oil stoke interest in Aptera?

Swansea team develops faster, greener way of producing carbon spheres

Green Car Congress

The work of the Swansea team points the way towards a better, cleaner and greener way of producing carbon spheres. It uses a cheap and safe feedstock which is readily available in the market. They can be expensive or impractical, or they produce spheres that perform poorly in capturing carbon. It is a rapid and safe procedure.

UK researchers use graphite to waterproof perovskite solar cells

Green Car Congress

A cheaper, cleaner and more sustainable way of making hydrogen fuel from water using sunlight is closer with new research from the University of Bath’s Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies. The Bath team instead used commercially available graphite, which is very cheap and much more sustainable than indium.
