BMW’s GM of battery cell technology joins Wildcat Discovery’s board

Green Car Congress

Lamp received his MSc in physics from the Technical University of Munich in 1989. Between 1994 and 2000 he was group leader at the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage of the Bayerischen Zentrum für angewandte Energieforschung (ZAE) in Garching. In 1993, he obtained his PhD in general physics.

Tsinghua team develops bio-inspired self-healing sulfur electrodes; almost no capacity decay after 2000 cycles

Green Car Congress

By mimicking fibrinolysis, a biological self-healing process, researchers at China’s Tsinghua University have developed a self-healing sulfur microparticle (SMiP) cathode. Spatial heterogeneity plays a vital role in the conversion-type electrochemical reactions, agreeing with the insertion-type ones coincidently. mg (S) cm −2.

New study finds GHG emissions from palm oil production significantly underestimated; palm oil biofuels could be more climate-damaging than oil sands fuels

Green Car Congress

Historical analysis shows strong acceleration of plantation development in recent years: 70% of all industrial plantations have been established since 2000 and only 4% of the current plantation area existed in 1990. That number is in my opinion conservative, and consistent with a slight reduction in the rate of peat conversion.

ExxonMobil and Global Thermostat in joint development agreement to advance atmospheric carbon capture technology

Green Car Congress

Since 2000, ExxonMobil has invested more than $9 billion in energy efficiency and lower-emission technologies such as carbon capture and next generation biofuels. ExxonMobil also works with about 80 universities around the world to explore next-generation energy technologies.

Researchers demonstrate sustainable integrated process for wastewater algae to biocrude via hydrothermal liquefaction

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Kansas has demonstrated the feasibility of an integrated wastewater algae-to-biocrude process using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) that can sustainably cultivate algal biomass for biofuel production. A wet whole cell conversion pathway, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), has gained popularity in the past few years.

NOAA study: Increase in stratospheric aerosols has offset some recent climate warming

Green Car Congress

The authors analyzed measurements from several independent sources—satellites and several types of ground instruments—and found a definitive increase in stratospheric aerosol since 2000. The increase in aerosols since 2000 implies a cooling effect of about 0.1 watts per square meter—enough to offset some of the 0.28
