SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES RELATED TO VEHICLES WITH REDUCED EMISSIONS

摘要

This disclosure relates generally to vehicles with reduced emissions. More particularly, this disclosure relates to systems, methods, and apparatuses related to vehicles with reduced carbon dioxide emissions. The carbon dioxide emissions may be stored in a carbon dioxide clathrate.

主权项

1. A method of sequestering emissions, the method comprising:
storing gas clathrates in a clathrate storage vessel; separating stored gas clathrates into at least one gas and a host material; operating an engine of a vehicle utilizing the at least one gas as fuel; combining carbon dioxide from an exhaust stream of the engine with host material, wherein the host material is compatible with forming carbon dioxide clathrates with the carbon dioxide of the exhaust stream; pressurizing and cooling the exhaust stream and the host material sufficient to form carbon dioxide clathrates with the carbon dioxide and the host material; and storing formed carbon dioxide clathrates in the clathrate storage vessel during operation of the engine.
