Solid state Batteries v/s Li-ion Batteries: A Comparison Based on Cost

Get Electric Vehicle

To better understand the severity of the cost component, let us look at the cost comparison between Solid state and Li-Ion batteries. Li-Ion batteries are used for anything from powering electric vehicles to storing energy for the grid. This low cost made Li-Ion batteries more accessible for a variety of applications.

DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

Given the nature of wet waste resources that requires dedicated waste management practices to collect, store, treat, and dispose of the waste, shifting the waste resources from going through conventional waste management practices to utilization as feedstocks for energy production may represent an avoided cost of waste management and disposal.

Mercedes-Benz delivers electric eActros heavy-duty truck to Logistik Schmitt for testing; countering catenaries

Green Car Congress

While preparations for the construction of the necessary infrastructure are still ongoing, at a cost of some €17.6 Third phase: direct comparison with the overhead catenary truck. The energy is stored in lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 240 kWh. This will serve to validate the second phase.

Anglo American Platinum, Shell invest in HyET for electrochemical hydrogen compression

Green Car Congress

With no moving parts, the HCS-100 operates at a fraction of the cost of, and is more reliable than, current mechanical compressors. Highly compressed hydrogen can store a large amount of energy, much more than conventional batteries. Operating principle.

New solid hydrogen-on-demand fuel cell from HES Energy Systems flies UAV for record 6 hours

Green Car Congress

The Skyblade 360 fuel cell system developed by HES and DSO is extremely lightweight in comparison to lithium batteries that typically power this aircraft, and it is also extremely compact: its 1L fuel cartridge holds 1000 Wh of usable energy. In 2013 HES pushed forward with a new material and a highly simplified system.

Iveco begins deliveries of heavy-duty Euro VI natural gas trucks

Green Car Congress

Natural gas is stored in its liquid state at -130 °C and at 9-bar pressure, which is then converted into a gaseous state before being injected into the engine. Natural gas PM emissions are 95% lower in comparison to diesel, and 35% lower in NO x.

Study concludes permanent loss of peatlands in open-pit oil sands mining adds significantly to carbon burden of oil sands production

Green Car Congress

While mine proponents are required to describe the pre-mining landscape and produce closure plans that detail a restored post-mining landscape, current reclamation regulations do not require the restoration of previous land covers or the restitution of lost carbon formerly stored in soils and vegetation, the authors note. —Rooney et al.
