Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

The Swiss company Climeworks is building the world’s largest direct air capture (DAC) and storage facility for converting atmospheric CO 2 to rock in Iceland. Water from the Hellisheiði power plant then flows through the facility and transports the carbon dioxide roughly 2,000 meters below the surface of the Earth.

Bosch on importance of renewable synthetic fuels to reach climate goals; e-fuels

Green Car Congress

First, apply electricity generated from renewable sources to obtain hydrogen from water. Climate neutrality. Vehicles on the road, when powered by synthetic fuel, are ultimately climate-neutral. Sufficient renewable energy can be generated worldwide to produce fuel that can then be stored and transported relatively easily.

HyMethShip seeks to fuel ship engines with hydrogen from methanol

Green Car Congress

The remaining carbon dioxide is stored in the tank and reused in onshore methanol production. The methanol is mixed with water, then evaporated by applying heat and fed into the preheated reactor, where the mix of methanol and water is converted into hydrogen and CO 2. © Fraunhofer. © Fraunhofer.

Study: Energy sorghum may combine best of annual, perennial bioenergy crops

Green Car Congress

Now, a study by researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE) Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) has found that energy sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) behaves more like miscanthus in the way it efficiently captures light and uses water to produce abundant biomass.

KU Leuven team creates solar panel that produces hydrogen from moisture in air

Green Car Congress

A traditional solar panel converts between 18 to 20% of the solar energy into electricity. If that electric power is used to split the water into hydrogen gas and oxygen, you lose a lot of energy. m² that converts 15% of the sunlight straight into hydrogen gas. —KU Leuven researcher Jan Rongé.

Four Startups Aim to Change the Climate Tech Game

Cars That Think

Starting a company to develop an energy technology that fights climate change is hard—a lot harder than starting a software company. Renewell aims to seal these wells to prevent oil and gas leakage, then install systems that lift a weight to store power and drops the weight to send it out back out into the grid. Not really.”

MAN Diesel & Turbo partners with ABB to develop and commercialize new electro-thermal stationary energy-storage system

Green Car Congress

The new Electro-Thermal Energy Storage system (ETES) stores large-scale electricity, heat and cold for distribution to consumers. The heat and cold can be converted back into electrical energy on demand. Moreover, it is possible to distribute the stored cold and heat to different types of consumers.
