Greenville County, SouthCarolina and Light’N’Up, deployed 15 propane Autogas vehicles last month as part of a large-scale, Recovery Act-funded alternative fuel vehicle project in the Southeast United States.
The Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME) and Virginia Clean Cities (VCC) at James Madison University (JMU) are requesting proposals from fleets in the southeastern US interested in converting eligible gasoline vehicles to run on propane autogas. The application deadline is Friday, 12 August 2011, at 5pm EDT.
The University of California Los Angeles. Fuel Cells with Dynamic Response Capability The University of Los Angeles (UCLA) will develop a low-cost, intermediate-temperature fuel cell that will also function like a battery to increase load-following capability. The University of SouthCarolina. Lead organization.
Located in SouthCarolina, ZF Transmissions Gray Court, LLC will produce about 1.2 Torque converter with excellent vibration and oscillation isolation for optimal comfort during starting (driveoff) and shifting. With Clemson University in the area, it provides a great opportunity to recruit future engineers.

Bartley, University of Oklahoma, Norman. Braun, University of Missouri, Columbia.
These passalid beetle gut communities represent an excellent model system for determining how microbial communities assemble and partition processes along physicochemical gradients to yield an efficient system that converts lignocelluloses into hydrogen, methane, ethanol and other bioenergy-relevant products. —Jennifer Pett-Ridge.
The University of Oklahoma (Norman, OK) plans to develop, build, and validate a low-cost, field-installable, remotely-controlled natural gas compressor retrofit kit. University of New Mexico aims to develop advanced gas sensors (mixed potential electrochemical [MPE]) coupled with advanced computation (artificial neural networks).
Today’s technologies for making biofuels all rely on photosynthesis—either indirectly by converting plants to fuels or directly by harnessing photosynthetic organisms such as algae. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. NC State University. Engineering E. of Georgia).
Iowa State University will bring its expertise in biorenewable technologies and pilot plant operations to the country’s 10th Manufacturing USA Institute. Department of Energy’s Savannah River National Laboratory in SouthCarolina and the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Earlier post.)
Southern Company, El Paso Exploration & Production, the Geological Survey of Alabama, and the University of Alabama are all participating in the field test, known as the Black Warrior CO 2 Storage Project. The SECARB members began injecting CO 2 at the Alabama test site on 15 June 2010.
A team led by a researcher at the University of California, Riverside has adapted the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system for use in a yeast strain that can produce useful lipids and polymers. Genome engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica has created strains that convert sugars to lipid that make up >90% of their dry cell weight. Until now, Y.
The GDL in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell provides a steady supply of gas to the catalyst layers, which are located on both sides of the ion exchange membrane and which convert hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy and water. W/cm 2 at 0.6 CNRS Montpellier, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.,
The 16 REFUEL projects seek to develop scalable technologies for converting water and molecules from the air into energy-dense, carbon-neutral liquid fuels (CNLFs) using electrical energy from renewable sources. University of Delaware. University of Delaware. University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Earlier post.)
US Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the delivery of $377 million in funding for 46 new multi-million-dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) ( earlier post ) located at universities, national laboratories, nonprofit organizations, and private firms across the nation. Pennsylvania State University. Purdue University.
Osage Bio Energy (OBE) is a Virginia-based company that will use regional grain, primarily winter barley, to produce ethanol and high value co-products for East Coast markets via a fairly conventional pathway of converting starch to sugar, followed by fermentation. John Warren.
The project will convert local landfill gas (LFG), a renewable fuel source, to compressed natural gas and develop five CNG fueling stations throughout the metro-Atlanta area. Fleets include transportation authorities, cities, school districts, the University of Michigan, FedEx, and Meijer. Total DOE award: $14,994,183.
A lot of parking lots have been converted to LED lights, and during that conversion, the electricity draw on that circuit was decreased, because the LEDs use less current, so you have a little excess capacity in that circuit, and if you tie into that, now you can cover things like cloudy days or rainy days much better.
Alabama A&M University. Alabama A&M University’s Bulldog Transit System will receive funding to purchase electric buses, charging stations, and other associated equipment. The buses will be deployed in areas such as downtown and the University. SouthCarolina Department of Transportation.

In announcing their partnership, FPL Group and Duke Energy called for a wide variety of organizations to commit to greening their vehicle fleets, including corporations, governments, universities and other agencies. The initiative will begin 1 Jan. 2010, when both companies will begin tracking their commitment.
Partial oxidation, pyrolysis and gasification occur at 1,500 — 1,800 °F (816 — 982 °C), and the fuel is converted into syngas and non-combustible ash. Sales to date include projects at the University of SouthCarolina, Dockside Green, the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Lab, Kruger Products and Tolko Industries.
The most common ways to meet emissions thresholds are to install expensive catalytic converters or reduce the weight or horsepower of the vehicle. The main issue here is that the EU is using a straightforward cutoff standard. Economically, automakers have little financial incentive to abide by the tight emissions standards.
