BorgWarner Exhaust Heat Recovery System for hybrids can improve fuel economy by up to 8.5%

Green Car Congress

Developed for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), BorgWarner’s innovative Exhaust Heat Recovery System (EHRS) can improve fuel economy by up to 8.5% The EHRS reduces mechanical losses by using the energy conserved within the exhaust gas.

Stena Line seeking novel approaches to recover energy from exhaust gases from ship engines

Green Car Congress

Stena Line is seeking novel, cost-effective approaches to recover energy from exhaust gases from ship engines and to transform it into a more useful energy form (e.g., electricity to supply hotel loads on board the ship). These energy losses are primarily radiant heat loss and the sensible heat of exhaust gases.

ExxonMobil, FuelCell Energy expand agreement to optimize carbonate fuel cell technology for large-scale carbon capture

Green Car Congress

ExxonMobil and FuelCell Energy, Inc. FuelCell Energy’s proprietary technology uses carbonate fuel cells to efficiently capture and concentrate carbon dioxide streams from large industrial sources. The CO 2 in the exhaust is transferred to the anode side, where it is much more concentrated and easy to separate.

UK researchers report that alcohols in windshield washer fluid are major unreported source of VOCs emissions from cars, including EVs

Green Car Congress

The levels of these non-fuel-derived gases will likely remain unchanged, even as more drivers transition from gas-powered to electric vehicles. These emissions are independent of the vehicle energy/propulsion system and therefore applicable to all road vehicle types including those with battery-electric powertrains.
