DOE awards ~$34M to 11 projects to advance waste and algae bioenergy technology

Green Car Congress

Biomass feedstocks can be produced by municipal solid waste (MSW) streams and algae and converted into low-carbon fuels that can significantly contribute to the decarbonization of transportation sectors that face barriers to electrification, such as aviation and marine. Improve algae farming practices to increase production ($18.7

DOE announces $18.6M to support production of low-carbon biofuels and bioproducts

Green Car Congress

million in funding to eight university and industry projects to develop biomass feedstocks to produce affordable biofuels and bioproducts that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Currently, most biofuels are made from feedstocks such as corn grain and agricultural residues, forestry residues, and solid and wet waste streams.

Is Elon Musk Back In “Production Hell” With Tesla’s 4680 Battery?

Cars That Think

We are nearing the end of manufacturing validation at Kato: field quality and yield are at viable levels and our focus is now on improving the 10% of manufacturing processes that currently bottleneck production output. While substantial progress has been made, we still have work ahead of us before we can achieve volume production.
