China lags in efforts to achieve 2025 green steel goals, analysts say – ET Auto

Baua Electric

China is falling short when it comes to decarbonising its huge steel industry, with slowing demand, low recycling rates and lingering overcapacity concerns hindering the transition towards lower-emission production, researchers said on Tuesday. Currently, most of China’s steel scrap supplies are used by traditional blast furnaces.

Battery recycling shatters the myth of EV waste – ET Auto

Baua Electric

EV batteries are simply too valuable to toss out, and a new industry of recyclers is busy snatching them all up. Cleaner electricity means a shorter payback period, but even in regions that still get electricity from coal, EVs eventually win out. But that’s not what’s happening.

Fundamental Energy Transitions Can Take a Century

Cars That Think

One hundred and forty years ago, Thomas Edison began generating electricity at two small coal-fired stations, one in London ( Holborn Viaduct ), the other in New York City ( Pearl Street Station ). The early expansion of generation was destined for industry—above all for the conversion from steam engines to electric motors—and for commerce.

I’ve Done The Math – Now I’m Doing Something About It

Creative Greenius

Bill McKibben’s “Do The Math” article in 2012′s Rolling Stone magazine taught us that we cannot burn any more than 565 gigatons of carbon if we want to stay at 2° or lower. But our friends in the oil, coal and gas industry have 5,795 gigatons of carbon on the books.

Role of Batteries in Clean Energy Transitions – ET Auto

Baua Electric

For instance, during periods of reduced solar irradiance or wind speed, traditional energy sources such as coal often experience a surge in production to meet demand. Yet, the inherent intermittency and variability of these sources pose a significant challenge to their widespread adoption. The concept of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.,

How EVs Are Helping Humanity & Saving Lives?

Get Electric Vehicle

renewable energy consumption has just overtaken coal. Even when the electricity is generated in the dirtiest grid, electricity is often cheaper and cleaner when used to power EVs since electric vehicles are more efficient at converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to power cars and trucks. As a matter of fact, in the U.S.,
