NSF to award $13M for fundamental engineering research on production of electricity and fuels

Green Car Congress

Current topics of interest include: Biomass Conversion, Biofuels & Bioenergy. Fundamental research on innovative approaches that lead to the intensification of biofuel and bioenergy processes is an emphasis area of this program. Fuel-cell related proposals should be directed to other CBET programs, depending on emphasis.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. The IRA leaves it up to the folks that are making the batteries to try and get the material back and build a circular supply chain, which is essentially what happens with lead-acid batteries. But right now, used lead-acid batteries are a commodity.
