Ramaco Carbon partnering with ORNL on new processes to make graphite from coal

Green Car Congress

Ramaco Carbon is partnering with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop new, large-scale processes for making graphite from coal. The conversion of coal to higher value materials, such as graphene, graphite or carbon nanotubes, is of high interest, and a number of researchers have proposed processes.

Carbon emissions from generating electricity for electric vehicles vary greatly across the individual US states

Green Car Congress

by Michael Sivak, Sivak Applied Research The overall advantage of battery electric over gasoline vehicles, in terms of well-to-wheels emissions of greenhouse gases, has been well documented. Therefore, biomass as energy source was assumed to produce no additional carbon emission. 5 Wyoming 132.3 2 Kentucky 143.1 4 Hawaii 137.1

DOE-sponsored project shows huge potential for carbon storage in Wyoming; potential for lithium recovery to offset cost

Green Car Congress

The Wyoming Rock Springs Uplift could potentially store 14 to 17 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to results from a Department of Energy-sponsored study. For every 1 million metric tons of CO 2 stored, approximately 250 metric tons of lithium carbonate, with an approximate market value of $1.6

The Case for EV Charging in Every City - Big or Small

EV Connect

The fear that an EV’s battery won’t last as long as it needs to is one of the biggest barriers to consumer adoption. Batteries have made big strides, but they are still largely limited to about a 250-mile range on the high end. However, some of the demand lag comes down to the usual suspect: range anxiety. If the U.S.
