The selected projects focus on advancing the development of a suite of post-combustion CO 2 capture and supersonic compression systems for new and existing coal-based electric generating plants, specifically: (1) supersonic compression systems; (2) small pilot-scale (from 0.5 FuelCell Energy Inc.

CRI, founded in 2006 in Reykjavik, Iceland, is developing technology to produce renewable methanol from clean energy and recycled CO 2 emissions. The companies say they a vision for a larger role for methanol as a clean and sustainable fuel worldwide. Currently the company has a 4,000 metric ton/year production capacity.

Hydrogen for reverse water gas shift reaction to avoid producing CO 2 during the process is produced by electrolyzing water, driven by solar power. For comparison, they also modeled the production of methanol using only biomass as a fuel and also using coal as source of both carbon and energy. Hertwich and Zhang (2009).

The US Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has issued a new Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) soliciting research projects that will address key challenges related to the utilization of coal-biomass mixtures for co-production of power and hydrogen, fuels, and/or chemicals.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference Nº 2. Conclusions. slow charge.

like people driving futuristic electric cars and everything being clean! Reply Neutral Elodie @ Apr 19th 2009 4:38PM How clean is an electrical car, really? Still totally cool to see automakers can agree about stuff (much better than computer makers, indeed), but I always find it weird when people say electrical cars are clean.

But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. And its easier to clean central power plants than millions of vehicles. Many continue to pay more attention to far-off hydrogen fuel cells than to this immediate solution. Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants?

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.
