The Grid Interaction Tech Team helped to identify and address roadblocks that would prevent successful commercialization of all types of plug-in electric vehicles. It covers all aspects of setting up a home charge station. Both tools will help accelerate the approval process for home charging stations.

Ensyn, Tesoro and Chevron are designing a commercial process to produce renewable gasoline and diesel from the co-processing of Renewable Fuel Oil (bio-oil) obtained via pyrolysis of tree residues. Ensyn, Tesoro and Chevron expect to produce a combined total of 2 million gallons per year of renewable diesel and gasoline.

This technology could avoid both the need for significant capital investment to upgrade refineries to produce more low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) and greater dependence on costlier, low sulfur crudes.

Consider the venerable oil drilling donkey, which cycles once every 7 or 8 seconds. At this rate (480 cycles per hour, and 11,520 cycles per day), these ancient and effective oil rigs cycle more in a day than a tracking PV array in its 30-year lifetime. This, however, is a fallacy. days x 30 years = 10,957 cycles.). Click to enlarge.

[This project is currently at the stage of conducting grid readiness assessments.] So we set out to show the industry what needed to be done so that the Flying Js, the Chevrons, the BPs of the world would understand that this needs to be built and that they had some support in doing so. They just don’t operate that quickly.

The electric grid is the most advanced energy-distribution network ever created and is constantly only a few feet away from us (far more ubiquitous than gas/ethanol/hydrogen stations). Given the cost of oil and the economic, geopolitical and ecological effects of our continued reliance on petroleum, electric transportation will be cheap.

Several global indicators on the supply of oil and the known carbon pollution environmental damages its caused all lead us to find cleaner ways of transportation. The true impact of electric vehicles should consider the make-up of the power grids where these cars will be used. We have oil! Think Bakken and Alberta sands.
