NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 reaches orbit

Green Car Congress

A 35 Ah nickel-hydrogen battery will provide power when the sun is eclipsed from the spacecraft. The instruments on these precisely engineered satellites make almost simultaneous measurements of clouds, aerosols, atmospheric chemistry, and other elements critical to understanding Earth’s changing climate.

Perspective: US Needs to Transition to Hydrous Ethanol as the Primary Renewable Transportation Fuel

Green Car Congress

It is possible to use gasoline C made with hydrated ethanol (AEHC) with minimum risk of phase separation due to Brazilian climate conditions. The distilleries were referred to as “stills” and the alcohol became known during the Prohibition period as “moonshine.” This moonshine was hydrous ethanol. 40 CFR § 80.27 40 CFR § 80.27(d)
