Although founded in 2019, the scientific research and development of UP Catalyst goes back to 2016, when relevant technologies to produce carbon nanomaterials and graphite sustainably were studied by the founders. This has a major negative impact on the environment as they are either mined or synthesized from energy-dense fossil resources.

The shipping containers, which house a Frankenstein-like assortment of machine parts—motors repurposed from Volvo truck engines, giant tanks of compressed air, huge silos of piping hot sand—are produced by a company called Cheesecake Energy. Despite its name, Cheesecake Energy isn’t in the food business.

However, generating these required intermediates requires high-energy reagents (such as highly reducing metals or strong organic bases), carbon–heteroatom bonds or relatively acidic carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds. But making FDCA from furfural and CO 2 typically requires hazardous chemicals that are expensive and energy-intensive to make.

V), which translates to an energy density of 943 Wh kg -1. Nevertheless, the energy density of LiFePO 4 is approximately 500 Wh kg -1 , which does not meet the specifications for battery devices in electric vehicles.

Their study, published RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science , addresses a significant obstacle to expanding the market for biofuels: lowering the cost of production. For several decades, researchers have been working to reduce the amount of energy and handling needed for each stage of this process. —Blake Simmons.

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team have demonstrated a long-cycle-life calcium-metal-based liquid-metal rechargeable battery for grid-scale energy storage, overcoming the problems that have precluded the use of the element: its high melting temperature, high reactivity and unfavorably high solubility in molten salts.
