#Mix of graphene nanoribbons, polymer has potential for cars, soda, beera discovery at Rice university aims to make vehicles that run on compressed natural gas more practical.
The combination could be a boon for an auto industry under pressure to market consumer cars that use cheaper natural gas.
This becomes increasingly important as automakers think about powering cars with natural gas. Metal tanks that can handle natural gas under pressure are often much heavier than the automakers would like.
He said the material could help to solve longstanding problems in food packaging too. Remember when you were a kid you'd get a balloon
Existing air quality regulations and trends in clean energy technology are expected to reduce the amount of harmful nitrogen oxides (NOX) emitted by coal plants and cars over time.
Study offers advice for owners of urban delivery truck fleetsfor owners of delivery truck fleets who may be trying to decide between electric
The advantages of electric versus diesel depend largely on how the trucks will be used--the frequency of stops
In city driving with frequent stops the electric trucks clearly outperform diesel vehicles. On average in the United states electric urban delivery trucks use about 30 percent less total energy
and emit about 40 percent less greenhouse gases than diesel trucks for about the same total cost taking into account both the purchase price
and where the truck will be used. In urban delivery routes with lots of stop -and-start driving electric trucks are roughly 50 percent more efficient to operate than diesel trucks overall.
That makes them at least 20 percent less expensive than diesel-fueled trucks and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 50 percent.
Where they are stopped frequently and started the higher efficiency of the electric motor at low speeds
and the regenerative braking systems in electrical vehicles help provide better efficiency. However electric delivery trucks lose their advantage in suburban routes that involve fewer stops and higher average speed.
Electric vehicles have limited a daily range and top speed and without a lot of stops lose their regenerative braking advantage.
and price electricity generation and transmission efficiency electric truck recharging infrastructure and purchase price. The study findings were reported July 16 2013 in the journal Environmental science and Technology.
In every state in the U s. electric trucks provided some reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with urban routes providing the most advantage.
In about half of the states the electric trucks cut greenhouse gas emissions by a third
and electricity and the potential cost of replacing an electric truck's battery pack if it has a shorter-than-expected lifetime.
Lithium-ion battery packs are expected to last the lifetime of the trucks as much as 150000 miles for the drive cycles tested.
Technology advances make predicting the long-term price of electric trucks difficult said Valerie Thomas one of the study's co-authors and a professor in Georgia Tech's Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and School
Battery price reductions down the road could have a large effect on the cost-competitiveness of electric trucks
while only diesel fuel prices could have a similarly large effect on the future cost-competitiveness of diesel trucks.
The researchers decided to study electric trucks in urban delivery applications because vehicles in these applications tend to travel the same routes each day spend significant amounts of time in stop
The comparison involved a 2011 Smith Newton electric truck powered by a 120 kw electric motor
The two trucks had approximately the same gross vehicle weight curb weight and payload. The comparison controlled for improvements in diesel efficiency between 2006 and 2011.
The researchers were surprised to find that the electric truck had cost advantages over the diesel vehicle under some conditions.
since the purchase price of the electric truck studied was higher than the diesel truck --and other models of electric trucks would have larger cost differentials.
Over the life of the truck there are many situations in which the total cost of operating an electric vehicle is less than operating a diesel vehicle noted Marilyn Brown another co-author and a professor in Georgia Tech's School of Public Policy.
Our expectation was that the electric vehicle would provide environmental benefits but at a cost.
and in locations with relatively low greenhouse gas emissions from electricity electric delivery trucks both save money
The relative benefit of electric trucks over diesel counterparts could be much more significant than one might expect said Lee.
If the electric truck is deployed in the right drive or duty cycle application fleet operators could enjoy higher returns on investment while saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In this talk we discuss the drivers affecting water sustainability and potential solutions including: adapting to a changing water world direct and indirect potable water reuse resilient water infrastructure and more holistic management of the water cycle.
The pollutants products of fossil fuel combustion are emitted by cars trucks and buses. Pollutants rise up into the atmosphere
and accumulate until being washed down as wet deposition by rain or snow or as dry deposition between rain events.
Every car now has a catalytic converter that reduces tailpipe emissions. So adoption of highly efficient control technologies as uniformly as we do across the United states has resulted in lower emissions.
and automobile manufactures are aggressively trying to develop vehicles that run on hydrogen fuel cells. Unlike gas-powered engines that spew out pollutants the only byproduct of hydrogen fuel is water.
The potential for profit and environmental benefits are why so many automobile oil and energy companies are working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles as the transportation of the future Zhang said.
#Petroleum use, greenhouse gas emissions of automobiles could drop 80 percent by 2050: U s. reporta new National Research Council report finds that by the year 2050 the U s. may be able to reduce petroleum consumption
and greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent for light-duty vehicles--cars and small trucks--via a combination of more efficient vehicles;
hybrid electric vehicles such as the Toyota Prius; plug-in hybrid electric vehicles such as the Chevrolet Volt;
battery electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf; hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles such as the Mercedes F-Cell scheduled to be introduced about 2014;
and compressed natural gas vehicles such as the Honda civic Natural gas. Although driving costs per mile will be lower especially for vehicles powered by natural gas
or electricity the high initial purchase cost is likely to be a significant barrier to widespread consumer acceptance the report says.
All the vehicles considered are and will continue to be several thousand dollars more expensive than today's conventional vehicles.
it can also be introduced without major changes in fuel delivery infrastructure or vehicles. The report finds that sufficient lignocellulosic biomass could be produced by 2050 to meet the goal of an 80 percent reduction in petroleum use
The beetles don't carry disease but their larvae feed on the ash trees'sap effectively killing the trees by depriving trees of their nourishment.
Baker and a postdoctoral fellow in his lab Michael J. Domingue were using dead female EABS for bait to trap the male beetles.
The two researchers working with a graduate student in Lakhtakia's lab Drew P. Pulsifer created a mold of the top of the female beetle's body.
The decoy beetle is made by a process of layering polymers with different refractive indexes to create the desired iridescence
and create a color similar to the beetle's own iridescent green. The researchers'findings are scheduled to be published in the April issue of the Journal of Bionic Engineering.
They also ran a pilot test in Hungary with a related beetle pest that bores into oak trees.
The goal of the project is to sequester 1 million metric tons of CO2 a year--the equivalent of removing 200000 automobiles from the road.
#Femme fatale emerald ash borer decoy lures, kills malesan international team of researchers has designed decoys that mimic female emerald ash borer beetles
Specifically we coated a dead female beetle with a vapor of nickel and used the'nickelized'shell to fabricate two matching molds in the shape of a resting beetle said Akhlesh Lakhtakia Charles Godfrey Binder professor of engineering science and mechanics
The finished bioreplicated decoys retained the surface texture of the beetle at the nanoscale. Additionally we painted some decoys a metallic green.
According to Domingue the light-scattering properties of the beetle's shell--which the team experimentally demonstrated using a white laser--made the nano-bioreplicated decoys more lifelike and therefore more attractive to males than the non-textured 3d printed decoy.
Beetles appear to be able to recognize this feature of the decoys and are attracted strongly to it.
thus enabling us to figure out how these destructive beetles find each other to mate and how we can exploit this behavior
