New long-duration, extended capacity Na-Al battery design for grid storage

Green Car Congress

The new battery design could help ease integration of renewable energy into the electrical grid at lower cost, using Earth-abundant metals, according to a study just published in Energy Storage Materials. Compared with a seasonal battery, this new design is especially adept at short- to medium-term grid energy storage over 12 to 24 hours.

Northwestern team identifies site in enzyme responsible for methane-methanol conversion

Green Car Congress

An interdisciplinary team at Northwestern University has found that the enzyme responsible for the methane-methanol conversion catalyzes this reaction at a site that contains just one copper ion. Our study provides a major leap forward in understanding how bacteria methane-to-methanol conversion. Credit: Northwestern University.

Prairie Lithium commissions 3rd DLE pilot plant

Green Car Congress

The DLE pilot is designed to process deep subsurface brines sourced from Prairie Lithium’s Fall 2022 drilling program when 600 m 3 of lithium rich brine was reserved for ongoing DLE technology testing. Conversion to a lease is only possible when a company has met the minimum work requirement expenditure associated with an exploration permit.
