Startup Mattershift says it has achieved a breakthrough in making carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes at large scale. The paper is a characterization study of commercial prototype carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes consisting of sub–1.27-nm-diameter Freeman, Professor of Chemical Engineering at UT Austin.

DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), under the purview of DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), will manage the selected projects. The projects are additional selections for the $160-million funding opportunity DE-FOA-0002400, announced in January 2021. Earlier post.)

The University of Texas at Austin It was the first of many false starts for the rechargeable lithium battery. They also tried pairing the cathode with a variety of other anode materials, mostly made from different types of carbons. Eventually, he and his colleagues settled on a carbon-based anode made from petroleum coke.

This project will develop and implement an Energy Internet microgrid, located in a large mixed-use infill development site in Austin, Texas. The project will provide operating data and experience to help the plant maintain its daily power output requirement more efficiently while reducing its carbon footprint. 16,080,554.

However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. Even after the fall in US crude, gasoline in California costs $4 on average. The first eye-opener for large scale solar was the Austin Energy PPA last year that was priced at 5 cents.

May, 2007 : An international team of researchers concluded that the ability of the Southern Ocean to absorb carbon dioxide had slowed by about 15% per decade since 1981 ( earlier post ), and projected that at the present rate of deterioration, it will have lost two-thirds of its ability to store carbon by 2050.

In the United States, sweeping legislation capped a series of moves by the country’s Department of Energy (DOE) over the past year to drive down the cost of low-carbon hydrogen and stimulate demand for the fuel. But it was the low-carbon-hydrogen provisions that raised eyebrows, for a couple of reasons.

The idea of self-sufficient cities is gaining currency in the European Union, which has set itself the ambitious task of cutting carbon dioxide (CO{-2}) emissions to one-fifth below 1990 levels by 2020 ? At current transportation battery prices, that is well beyond the cost of spinning reserve. the biggest cuts anywhere in the world.

And, if you consider lifetime costs of owning an EV versus owning a traditional internal combustion car, even if the initial purchase price of the EV is much more than your combustion car and you have to replace a battery for $4,000 after 7-10 years, the EV still costs less to operate. Next: a carbon tax. Follow the money.
