The newly formed Scuderi Split-Cycle (SSC) Engine Consortium is having its first meeting at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in SanAntonio, Texas on 23 January. Intake air is compressed in the compression cylinder and transferred via a gas passage to the power cylinder for combustion. —Stephen Scuderi.
UPS plans to purchase approximately 700 liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks and to build four refueling stations by the end of 2014. An initial investment of more than $18 million to build fueling stations will be supported by the purchase of the 700 LNG tractors and continued expansion of the natural gas fleet in the US.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is [link] about $11 million to 20 new projects to help states and local governments to develop the infrastructure, training, and regional planning needed to help meet the demand for alternative fuel cars and trucks, including vehicles that run on natural gas, electricity, and propane. Gas Technology.
For the purposes of this program, eligible alternative fuel vehicles are limited to those powered by the following: electricity, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, propane (LPG), or a mixture of fuels containing at least 85 percent methanol by volume (M85).
CPS Energy of SanAntonio has signed a Power Purchase Agreement for approximately 200 MW of power from the Texas Clean Energy Project (TCEP), located just west of Midland-Odessa. In a non-carbon-capture plant, the syngas is cleaned to remove impurities and sent to a gas turbine where it undergoes combustion to produce electricity.
of Danbury, Connecticut will receive $900,000 to develop a novel hybrid system for low-cost, low greenhouse gas hydrogen production. Southwest Research Institute of SanAntonio, Texas will receive $1.8 FuelCell Energy Inc. million to demonstrate a hydrogen compression system. Nuvera Fuel Cells Inc.
Azure Dynamics Corporation announced 45 new Ford Transit Connect Electric sales, including 20 units in Europe and 25 units in North America, which includes six initial units through the General Services Administration (GSA) via Northside Ford in SanAntonio, TX, a four-unit order from Verizon and a four-unit order from an internet company.
UPS plans to build an additional 12 compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations and add 380 new CNG tractors to its growing alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet. CNG is made by compressing natural gas to less than one percent of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure. SanAntonio, Texas; Tifton, Ga.;
According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US electricity generation in 2010 was 70% fossil fuels (coal 44.9%, natural gas 23.8%); 20% nuclear; and 10% renewable, of which 6.2% EIA forecasts that the mix in 2035 will shift to include 39% coal; 27% natural gas; and 16% renewables. was conventional hydropower.
A trailer refrigeration unit traditionally is powered by a small diesel engine or electric motor that drives compressors to provide cooling to the cargo. A fuel cell can potentially provide a clean, quiet and efficient alternative by powering the electric motor. This is a great application for a fuel cell. —Kriston Brooks.
The vehicles and infrastructure being funded include the use of natural and renewable gas, propane, ethanol, biodiesel, electricity, and hybrid technologies. The program includes the installation of 10 alternative fuel refueling sites (two B20, one Electric Recharging, and seven CNG). Total DOE award: $15,000,000.
A study by researchers at the University of Texas found that in general, use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can lead to an increase in ozone during nighttime hours (due to decreased scavenging from both vehicles and EGU stacks) and a decrease in ozone during daytime hours. The results are less clear in Dallas and Houston.
Hawaii Electric Company will qualify the biocrude for boiler use, and Tesoro will supply CO 2 and evaluate fuel products. The SkyMine process transforms CO 2 into solid carbonate and/or bicarbonate materials while also removing sulfur oxides, nitrogen dioxide, mercury and other heavy metals from flue gas streams of industrial processes.
Coca-Cola Enterprises has ordered 150 Kenworth T370 diesel-electric tractors and 35 Kenworth T370 hybrid trucks, all of which will be on the road this year. SanAntonio, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, Toronto, Vancouver, and Washington, DC. The Kenworth T370 tractors (rated at 55,000 lb.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia’s national science research agency, has 2 -based-power-generation-project/">joined the Joint Industry Partnership (JIP) of the Supercritical Transformational Electric Power (STEP) project known as STEP Demo. Operational start-up is anticipated next year.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding up to $80 million for a six-year project to design, build, and operate a 10-MWe (megawatts electrical) supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2 ) pilot plant test facility in SanAntonio, TX. Smaller size and increased efficiency can lead to lower costs and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Its high carbon-capture rate reduces the total amount of CO 2 emitted to the atmosphere to less than 10% of the emissions for power from a conventional coal plant, and less than 25% of those for power from a highly efficient, natural gas-fired plant, according to Summit. Pulverized coal feedstock will be introduced into the two Siemens.
Buc-ee’s, beacon of the most American of all driving traditions, is going electric – sort of. The automaker recently opened chargers at Buc-ee’s locations in Fort Worth, Royse City, and Temple, and said it would build 12 more at locations in the Dallas area (includes Fort Worth), Houston, and SanAntonio.
The Rice lab of chemist James Tour and colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Texas at SanAntonio and the University of Houston have developed a robust, solid-state catalyst that shows promise to replace expensive platinum for hydrogen generation. —Fei et al.
City planners and many pedestrians have wondered how to get electric scooters off the sidewalk, but two new studies from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety raise a different question: Just where should e-scooters be ridden? who recently switched from an e-scooter to an electric bike.
Photo: City of SanAntonioSanAntonios grid is about to get substantial backup with a 120-megawatt (MW), 480-megawatt-hour (MWh) battery storage project. CPS Energy has a (not-very-ambitious) 40% by 2040 renewables goal and is still adding natural gas generation. Get started here.
