Navigator CO2 to provide ~600k TPA of CO2 as a feedstock for ultra-low carbon Infinium eFuels

Green Car Congress

Heartland Greenway system map Infinium eFuels are created using CO 2 that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere and renewable power-derived green hydrogen. Ultra-low carbon eFuels contain no sulfur and are cleaner-burning than petroleum-based fuels.

Ford Europe leading project investigating DME and OME1 as low carbon, near zero particulate fuels; power-to-liquids pathways using CO2

Green Car Congress

In a 2011 study, a team from MAN Truck & Bus noted that: CO 2 can be recycled into methanol by reaction with electrolysis hydrogen. Methanol is a petrol and not suitable as a diesel fuel component, but can be dehydrated to form dimethyl ether (DME) with a high cetane number. The comparative figure for diesel is 113 g/km CO 2.).

Green Cars Part 4- Compressed Air

DIY Electric Car

Conventional cars work by exploding fuel and air in a chamber to exert force on the pistons, but what if rather than using an explosion to provide that pressure on the piston, you just stored your ‘fuel’ at a constant high pressure. That’s the concept behind the air car , and it looks like a pretty promising technology.

What about the Pickens Plan?

Plugs and Cars

Hydrogen and fuel cells remain decades from meaningful deployment, even their supporters concede. Before greenhouse gasses became a global concern, before we came to terms with the inevitable limits of fossil fuels, natural gas would have been a logical fuel alternative to petroleum.
