ARPA-E to award $27M for advanced nuclear reactor systems operational technology: GEMINA

Green Car Congress

GEMINA’s goal is to reduce fixed operations and maintenance (O&M) costs from ~13 $/MWh in the current fleet to ~2 $/MWh in the advanced fleet. These projects will work to develop digital twin technology to reduce O&M costs in the next generation of nuclear power plants. —ARPA-E Director Lane Genatowski.

DOE announces $29M in funding for fusion energy technology development

Green Car Congress

GAMOW teams will work to close multiple fusion-specific technological gaps that will be needed to connect a net-energy-gain “fusion core," once it is ready, to a deployable, commercially attractive fusion system. Currently, scalable tritium extraction and pumping technologies do not exist. Earlier post.).

Hyliion launches Hypertruck Electric Range Extender; CNG genset; 1,000-truck pre-order

Green Car Congress

in connection with Hyliion’s recently announced business combination. The powertrain also produces electricity locally at roughly 30% less than the average grid cost, which yields a seven-year cost-of-ownership unmatched by any diesel, battery-electric (BEV) or hydrogen fuel-cell (FCEV) Class 8 truck under development.

SafeAI, Siemens, Obayashi collaborate to bring retrofitted autonomous, zero-emission heavy vehicles to off-road industries

Green Car Congress

SafeAI and Siemens signed an agreement in May 2021 to work jointly on retrofitting off-road heavy vehicles for autonomy, zero-emission and connected applications, due to the increasing convergence of these three mega-trends in vehicles. Unlike passenger cars, full electrification of heavy vehicles is still at a nascent stage.

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Projects are encouraged to apply concurrent (as opposed to sequential) design methodologies: control co-design, co-design, and designing for operation and maintenance. These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design. SHARKS teams will reflect this multi-disciplinary scope.
