The US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is partnering with a power company to apply its pulsed electron beam technology to reduce NO x emissions from coal-fired power plants. Today, industry uses Selective Catalytic Reduction to reduce NO x , but the scrubbers are expensive to build and to operate. —John Sethian.

Energy loss that occurs during power conversion is equivalent to the daily output of 318 coal plants, and costs the US economy $40 billion per year. Transphorm’s Total GaN-based Boost Converter operating at over 99% efficiency at 400 Volts demonstrates this for the first time. —Primit Parikh, President of Transphorm.

Greenhouse gas emissions will certainly grow too, because India’s energy generation is dominated by fossil fuels—coal-fired power plants for electricity, coal- and gas-fired furnaces for industrial heating, liquid petroleum gas for cooking, and gasoline and diesel for transportation. cents per kilowatt-hour and 5.5 IIT Madras.

Fast breeder reactors date back more than half a century, when the global nuclear community thought there wouldn’t be enough uranium fuel available for the nuclear-power industry. “My belief is that one of the purposes of these reactors is to produce weapons-grade plutonium for that buildup.”. Natural uranium is composed of only 0.7

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

While future demand from the automotive industry is significant, the real game changer for the lithium industry may be electrical grid storage. In some locations, grid-scale peaking applications have already been implemented, often in old coal power plants, re-using the building and grid connections. Electrical Grid Connections.
