Emissions from buildings, industry and other parts of the economy rose, though less than in 2018. All told, net US GHG emissions ended 2019 slightly higher than at the end of 2016. Natural gas generation made up much of the gap last year, as it has consistently in recent years, due to extremely cheap gas prices. year-on-year.

This new method allows us to use much larger silicon particles that are one to three microns, or millionths of a meter, in diameter, which are cheap and widely available. Now the team will work on fine-tuning the process and on producing caged silicon particles in large enough quantities to build commercial-scale batteries for testing.
