Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams. They need to contain them.

WWF Reports Finds Industrial Biotechnology Could Reduce CO2 Emissions Between 1-2.5 Billion Tonnes per Year by 2030

Green Car Congress

The reports—one focused on technology, the other on policy—identify four fundamental dimensions of industrial biotechnology: improved efficiency; the substitution of fossil fuels; the substitution of oil-based materials; and the creation of a closed loop system with the potential to eliminate waste.

EV Everywhere Blueprint outlines DOE technical and development goals for EVs for 2022

Green Car Congress

In September 2012, DOE requested public comment on an EV Everywhere Initial Framing Document. Lightweight material systems include carbon fiber composites, magnesium alloys, advanced high strength steel, and aluminum alloys; and techniques to join combinations of these materials in a cost effective manner are also critical.

Virginia Tech professor proposes simple biomass-to-wheel efficiency analysis to inform decisions on biomass/biofuel/powertrain combinations; the advantage of sugar fuel cell vehicles

Green Car Congress

Each element can be analyzed separately and adjusted individually; most of which have data well-documented in literature. Because of the same input and output in all cases, an increase in energy conversion efficiency nearly equals impact reductions in carbon and water footprints on the environment. Energy Environ.
