PA Turnpike considers solar-powered EV charging stations

Teslarati

The Pennsylvania Turnpike is attempting to power its EV charging stations with solar power facilities along the highway. EV charging suppliers are torn between energy costs, expansion needs, and remaining price competitive (to name a few factors). The Turnpike has already constructed its first solar facility in Jeanette, capable of 1.3

GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. The process is constrained by the (low) cost of electricity. Larger scale C2CNT can be achieved through direct elimination of atmospheric CO 2 using solar heat and solar to electric PVs. —Johnson et al.

GWU team develops cost-effective solar process to produce lime for cement without CO2 emission

Green Car Congress

Conventional thermal decomposition production of lime (left) versus STEP direct solar conversion of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide (right). Conducive to our new solar process, electrolysis of molten carbonates forms oxides, which precipitate as calcium oxide when mixed with calcium carbonate. Click to enlarge. —Licht et al.

IEA: global CO2 emissions rebounded to their highest level in history in 2021; largely driven by China

Green Car Congress

The global CO 2 emissions and energy demand numbers are based on the IEA’s detailed region-by-region and fuel-by-fuel analysis, drawing on the latest official national data and publicly available energy, economic and weather data. The use of coal for electricity generation in 2021 was intensified by record high natural gas prices.

Lessons from a year with solar power

EV Info

It was one year ago that we decided to add solar panels to our roof. With two Electric cars, at the time a Nissan Lean and Mitsubishi Outlander, we use a considerable amount of electricity but not much petrol, so already we were a reasonable way down the less CO2 road. Panels: JA Solar black. Or around 4p pe rmile.

Stanford faculty awarded $2.2 million for innovative energy research; fuel cells, hybrids, splitting CO2

Green Car Congress

Many local devices that can either generate electricity, like rooftop solar panels, or store energy, like electric cars, are expected to help reduce the costs of the traditional system, especially as intermittent renewable energy provides a bigger fraction of our energy use. Efficiency and Group Behavior in Power Distribution Networks.
