DOE awarding $72M in 73 Phase II SBIR/STTR grants

Green Car Congress

Production of C 5 hydrocarbons from waste biomass. Obtaining sustainable sources of chemicals and processing organic waste in an environmentally responsible manner remains a challenge. This proposal aims to solve these problems by converting organic waste into chemicals with widespread use in polymer and transportation industries.

EV Everywhere Blueprint outlines DOE technical and development goals for EVs for 2022

Green Car Congress

In the near-term (2012-2017), DOE sees an opportunity to more than double the battery pack energy density from 100 Wh/kg to 250 Wh/kg through the use of new high-capacity cathode materials, higher voltage electrolytes, and the use of high capacity silicon or tin- based intermetallic alloys to replace graphite anodes. —Blueprint.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

What is the impact on the EV lifecycle carbon footprint? A 30% decrease in grid carbon intensity would reduce emissions from the battery production chain by about 17%. This is 2 to 3 times lower than the 150-200kg of CO2eq estimate measured by the same researchers in 2017. So, how clean is EV battery manufacturing?
