Topsoe and First Ammonia sign 5GW electrolyzer agreement for green ammonia

Green Car Congress

The production of 5 million metric tons of green ammonia produced per year would eliminate 13 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, the equivalent of taking 9 million gasoline-fueled cars off the road. These projects will be the world’s first commercial-scale, green ammonia production facilities with operation planned for 2025.

New MIT metal-mesh membrane could solve longstanding problems with liquid metal displacement batteries; inexpensive grid power storage

Green Car Congress

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team took a different approach, realizing that the functions of that membrane could instead be performed by a specially coated metal mesh, a much stronger and more flexible material that could stand up to the rigors of use in industrial-scale storage systems.

New nanolithia cathodes may address technical drawbacks of Li-air batteries; scalable, cheap and safer Li-air battery system

Green Car Congress

The alarmingly large η charging indicates severe kinetic bottlenecks in gas-evolving solid products (for example, Li 2 O and Li 2 O 2 ) being dynamically dismantled during charging. Overall, the new battery system is “ very scalable, cheap, and much safer ” than lithium-air batteries, Li says. V in O x− (condensed phase) → O 2 (gas).

UNSW, H2Store to develop hydrogen storage for renewables; residential and commercial P2G

Green Car Congress

million investment from Providence Asset Group to develop a hydrogen hydride storage system that could mean cheaper, safer storage for renewable energy for a range of applications, including residential. The team hopes to have a 5 kW home storage system prototype ready by the end of 2019 and a product on the market late in 2020.

UK power crisis – entirely the fault of regulators and ministers

EV Info

As our North Sea production reduces over the last few years, we have been increasingly reliant on imported gas that accounts for close to half our needs. Right now, production is low in Russia, so the cost has increased. Why, simple the US embraced Fracking to produce bountifully supplies of cheap gas. No Fracking.

The difference between lithium iron phosphate and lithium battery

Setec Powerr

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are green, non-toxic, non-polluting, raw materials from a wide range of sources, and cheap. Lightweight, about 1/6-1/5 the weight of lead-acid products in the same volume. High production requirements conditions, high cost. Transportation power supply. Power storage power.

The reason the funding was dropped is not clear, but the challenge facing Europe’s big power generators is obvious ? insulating or rebuilding Europe’s rickety housing stock could cut heating bills from 30 to 80 per cent, which would slash demand for their product. Much of the technology needed is still a distant dream ?
