ALTERNATIVE FUELS WORLDWIDE * UK - Biomethane-Fueled Heavy-Duty Truck
London,UK -GreenCarCongress (Washington,DC,USA) -18 August 2008: -- Sainsbury’s is beginning daily food deliveries from its depot in Bristol (UK) to the supermarket’s new environmental store in Dartmouth—a 500 km (311 miles) round trip—using a Mercedes-Benz Axor truck fueled with biomethane produced from landfill gas... The truck is retrofitted with UK-based Clean Air Power’s Genesis Dual-Fuel system, which enables heavy-duty diesel engines to operate primarily on natural gas, with diesel fuel acting as a “liquid spark plug”... Using biomethane from landfills can save up to 60% in CO2 emissions compared with diesel fuel, according to Sainsbury’s...
* Australia-China Research Partnership Targeting Alt Fuels and Energy Storage
Queensland,Australia -GreenCarCongress (Washington,DC,USA) -18 August 2008: -- The University of Queensland (UQ) will lead a A$3.9 million (US$3.4 million) Australia-China research partnership targeting the production of alternative liquid fuels, hydrogen, and energy storage for hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles... UQ Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Greenfield said the alliance’s broad objectives were:
* Cost-effective technologies for alternative liquid fuels as well as technologies from solar and clean coal processes that will enable hydrogen production; and
* Materials for storing electricity and hydrogen for the new generation of hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles of the future.
