90% of Truck CO2 Emissions Could be Captured and Liquified into Fuel Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:15 AM PST Researchers at EPFL have patented capturing CO2 directly from a trucks’ exhaust system and liquefying it in a box on the vehicle’s roof. The liquid CO2 is then delivered to a service station, where it is turned into conventional fuel using renewable energy. This could cut trucks’ CO2 emissions by almost 90%.They plan to combine several technologies developed at EPFL to.. Click headline for full article
