Cornell team suggests engineered bacteria could address current limitations of energy storage technologies

Green Car Congress

Raising the penetration of renewable —an intermittent—sources of energy into the grid will require large scale electrical energy storage and retrieval. Natural photosynthesis already offers an example for storing solar energy at a huge scale, and turning it into biofuels in a closed carbon loop.

Carnegie Mellon researchers develop semi-liquid lithium metal anode for use with solid electrolytes

Green Car Congress

The SLMA consists of lithium microparticles evenly distributed in a dual-conductive polymer matrix. Working with the Mellon College of Science’s Matyjaszewski, a leader in polymer chemistry and materials science, and Jay Whitacre, Trustee Professor in Energy in the College of Engineering and director of the Wilton E. 2019.05.022.

Topsoe to build demonstration plant to produce cost-competitive CO2-neutral methanol from biogas and green electricity

Green Car Congress

The eSMR Methanol technology exploits the full carbon potential of biogas by utilizing the 40% CO 2 content which is routinely separated and vented today. Today, biogas in grid quality is much costlier to produce than the natural gas it replaces. —Peter Mølgaard Mortensen, Principal Scientist at Haldor Topsoe. Wismann et al.

EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think!

Plug In India

” Musk pointed to data from the information service World of Statistics showing that the price of lithium hydroxide had risen to $78,032 per metric ton from $6,800 in 2019. During charging, Na ions move from a sodium- and iron-containing cathode through a liquid electrolyte and across a polymer barrier to a hard carbon anode.

Topsoe puts eSMR demonstration plant into operation for production of sustainable methanol from biogas

Green Car Congress

ton CO 2 being emitted per produced ton methanol, the emission reduction potential is enormous, assuming all methanol is being produced by means of a carbon-neutral process and sustainable feedstock. With this initiative, we will demonstrate that we are able to transform classical production process into a fully carbon-neutral scheme.
