Researchers develop bi-metallic catalyst for thermocatalytic decomposition of methane: H2 with low or no CO2

Green Car Congress

Solid carbon that accumulates on the catalyst is washed and separated for commercial use, while the metallic precursors are re-synthesized and recycled back into the reactor. The TCD process starts by flowing methane gas through the patent-pending bimetallic catalyst inside a reactor vessel operating at approximately 600 ?

We Need More Than Just Electric Vehicles

Cars That Think

With all this, consumers and policymakers alike are hopeful that society will soon greatly reduce its carbon emissions by replacing today’s cars with electric vehicles. Indeed, adopting electric vehicles will go a long way in helping to improve environmental outcomes. You also must consider the electricity that charges the vehicle.

Renewable Energy Generation: Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy, a lesson exported from Detroit

Green Car Congress

In Germany, renewable electricity generation will be 35 percent by 2020, and 50 percent by 2050. These three leading international energy markets illustrate how progress is being made in other major energy-intensive nations, but they are not alone. The same can be said for the electricity companies that generate power in the USA.
