New inexpensive catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO could help with storage of renewable energy

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed an inexpensive bismuth?carbon carbon monoxide evolving catalyst (Bi-CMEC) that can be used in conjunction with ionic liquids to convert CO 2 to carbon monoxide (CO) using electricity. CO can then be reacted with H 2 O via the water?gas —DiMeglio and Joel Rosenthal.

New highly selective and efficient catalyst for reduction of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed a highly selective nanoporous silver catalyst capable of electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 92% efficiency. The carbon monoxide then can be used to produce synthetic fuels and chemicals. The researcher reported their findings in Nature Communications.

US DOT Awards $100M in Recovery Act Funds to 43 Transit Projects to Reduce Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Green Car Congress

The new Fisher buses will provide more than triple the equivalent fuel economy in all-electric mode and reduce CO2 emissions due to the extensive use of lightweight materials and the large capacity battery system. Delaware Transit Corporation, Delaware: $1,500,000. Ames Transit Agency, Iowa: $1,600,000.

However, they currently operate using ethanol fuel, converted into hydrogen and carbon monoxide prior to entering the fuel cell in a process called reforming. In this project, UC San Diego will develop a modular power converter matrix to control power flow to connected battery modules. University of Delaware.
