OptiFuel to repower Argentina’s 400 freight locomotive fleet from diesel-power to CNG and/or RNG

Green Car Congress

We stepped back even further and asked: How can we affordably integrate new technology and required infrastructure into the world’s massive railroad networks in a way that is gradual, flexible, reliable, and affordable? This led us to OptiFuel’s modular, affordable designs. We didn’t look at one railroad or even one country.

Liquid Metal Battery Corp secures patent rights from MIT

Green Car Congress

The energy is stored in the liquid metals that want to react with one another but can do so only by transferring ions across the electrolyte, which results in the flow of electric current out of the battery. Affordable grid-level energy storage is the linchpin for massive deployment of renewable energy on the electric power grid.
