IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. Not only can IPG’s technology deliver low-emission, pollutant-free energy on today’s cleaner fuels. —IPG CEO Toby Gill.

Oleophobic hydrophobic magnetic sponge selectively soaks up oil, sparing water and wildlife

Green Car Congress

The OHM (oleophobic hydrophobic magnetic) nanocomposite slurry can be used to coat any cheap, commercially available sponge. The nanostructure coating can be tailored to selectively adsorb (and later desorb) these pollutants. —Vikas Nandwana. Vikas Nandwana, Stephanie M.

Solaris ebuses will be powered by LFP-CTP batteries from CATL

Push EVs

Now, with cheap cobalt-free battery chemistries available, such as LFP (LiFePO4) and NIB (sodium-ion battery) there’s no reason why we still allow diesel buses to pollute the air that we all breathe. Fuel types of new buses in Europe (2021): Diesel : 68,8 %. Electric : 10,6 %. Alternative fuels : 10,5 %. Hybrid : 10,1 %.

Singapores A*Star Awards S$27.5M In Research Grants for Technologies for Sustainable Development

Green Car Congress

In particular, one of the projects will explore the idea of using cheap and widely available magnesium oxide-based mineral silicates to trap carbon dioxide from industry flue gases via a process known as dry mineral carbonation. With the availability of this option, dependence on cement and sand is greatly reduced.

Proposed California Bill SB-233 Mandates Bidirectional Charging for EVs to Advance Grid and Climate Protection

Driivz

The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. SB-233 covers school buses as well so they can power V2B and fleet depots use cases.

Univ. Houston, Caltech team develops new earth-abundant, cost-effective catalyst for water-splitting

Green Car Congress

In an open-access paper in the journal Nature Communications, the team said that their advance provides a different pathway to design cheap, efficient and sizable hydrogen-evolving electrode by simultaneously tuning the number of catalytic edge sites, porosity, heteroatom doping and electrical conductivity. b,d) Scale bar, 50 μm.

Feature: Going Green on Car Care, Repair and Insurance

Clean Fleet Report

You may be wondering if electric and hybrid cars are cheap to insure. We’ll start with the greenest car available, the electric vehicle (EV). The higher the percentage of EVs on the road, the lower the air pollution. Allstate has one of the most significant discounts available for electric vehicles. Electric Cars.
