GVL has previously been identified as a potential feedstock in the production of both energy and fine chemicals. GVL is produced by hydrogenation of levulinic acid, which can be produced, potentially at low cost, from agricultural waste by commercial-scale process.

Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. By 2020 our battery costs will be less than $100 a kilowatt-hour (kWh). Those inactive materials are expensive and wasteful. Earlier post.). Flexible and modular.

No, this isn’t April Fool’s Day - scientists at the University of Delaware are developing a new low-cost material for hydrogen storage in the form of carbonised chicken feathers. In an effort to solve this, many materials have been tried and tested but most are too expensive or their disposal methods are questionable.
