Kyoto team develops new cathode material for high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium batteries

Green Car Congress

Three-electrode cells using Mg metal counter electrode and silver reference electrode were used. Moreover, the terrestrial abundance and melting point of elemental magnesium by far surpass that of lithium, translating to a cheap and safe battery system. Charge–discharge profiles of ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4. Electrolyte was 0.5

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

That agreement calls for a program that will cover nearly 90 percent of the region’s greenhouse gas emissions when it is fully implemented (commonly referred to as an economy-wide program). GHG emissions leakage generally refers to a situation in which an emissions decrease from a regulated (i.e., The Stringency of the Cap.
