A team of engineers from the University of Lincoln, with funding from the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), has confirmed the feasibility of aircraft regenerate braking from the landing gear to provide power for taxiing to and from airport buildings, reducing the need to use jet engines.
Awards include (ranked by amount): PHL Taxi Management LLC —$900,000 – to purchase and deploy 50 new CNG taxis in Philadelphia that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and to build a publicly accessible CNG fueling station in the city. Waste Management of Pennsylvania Inc. Giant Eagle Inc.
Key initiatives in the plan include: Increasing production of sustainable aviation fuels: Sustainable fuels produced from renewable and waste feedstocks can provide the greatest impact in the effort to reduce aviation’s greenhouse gas emissions. Source: US Aviation Climate Action Plan.
BioStar Systems is partnering with Sonoma County Water Agency and Sonoma County Transit to produce 148,000 cubic feet per day of pipeline quality biomethane from dairy waste and food processor waste to support the Sonoma County Transit natural gas fleet. USA Waste of California ($489,040 - Match Share $1,051,021).
Waste Management of PA, Inc. The fueling station will be used by Waste Management’s waste and recycling haulers and other local fleet operators. Cranberry Taxi Inc. Veterans Taxi will receive $269,000 to purchase and deploy 25 new compressed natural gas taxis.
We also produce a huge amount of waste and we are looking at schemes that convert biomass into hydrogen. So as well as producing a clean fuel we would be reducing the amount of waste we put into landfill. These are early days, but I am tremendously excited by the prospects of London’s hydrogen future. Earlier post.).
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. Vehicles to be deployed include 163 CNG, the vast majority for high mileage taxis and 18 heavy-duty LNG refuse trucks. Total DOE award: $14,994,183.
The fuel cell converts hydrogen directly into electrical energy. The only waste product from this process is water. Small passenger aircraft, such as the HY4, could soon be used in regional transport as electric air taxis and offer a flexible and rapid alternative to existing means of transport.
A planned network of landing spots will let eVTOLs recharge their batteries between flights, keeping people above the hustle and bustle (and traffic tie-ups) that come standard with taking private cars or taxis on city streets. Making the trip in a taxi usually takes 90 minutes; by train, it’s a 2-hour ride.
The project will include converting a portion of the non-tactical fleet to electric drive vehicles that will be able to connect to the electric power grid intelligently to ensure optimal electric power grid function. Waste Management of California, Inc., This award agreement includes a match funding share of $210,962.
integrating systems where the waste product of one process is utilized as the feedstock of the next); and/or technologies that reduce external energy inputs (e.g. designs that improve the hydraulic retention time or use lower-cost materials); hybrid systems to maximize the hydrogen produced per unit of biomass (e.g.,
Going back to our formula we will first need to convert our kilowatt value to watts so we have 10,800 * 1000 = 10,800,000 watts needed from the source. Billion in Funding Bicycling Cooperatives Enhance Community Oslo Buses Put Waste to Work Reddit Digg Stumble ShareThis Comments By Readers The math seems to be off on the battery swap option.
That seems like it would be a waste not to use it. The next question is about the robo taxi unveil. And even in an autonomous future where the car is perhaps used, instead of being used 10 hours a week, it’s used 50 hours a week. That still leaves over 100 hours a week where the car inference computer could be doing something else.
To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. The electrical system has perhaps 85% excess capacity most of the year which means we are wasting money in excess electric generation and distribution infrastructure and resources.
But what the electronic switching does is to convert the battery DC to AC, so in theory the motor should have been called the very Afro sounding BLAC. The difference between BLDC and PMS is simply in the way the switches convert DC to AC. I met with one of the incubatees, a company working on an air taxi.
