MAN Diesel & Turbo delivers 1st IMO-certified two-stroke with Tier III NOx control, EGR systems

Green Car Congress

Hyundai’s Ship Building Division (HHI-SBD) has finalized a contract for 2 × Suezmax tankers for Turkish shipowner, Ditas Shipping. Currently, North America (the United States and Canada) is the only NO x Emissions Control Area, although several areas are expected to request consideration in the coming years.

How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

For EVs to deliver their full emission-reducing potential, the battery supply chain must be as clean as possible, and cathode active materials (CAM) are a key part of the sustainability equation. Robert Privette: Rechargeable batteries are among the building blocks for the green energy transition. How do we do this?

A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries

Charged EVs

This crystalline carbon allotrope is good for more than just pencils—it’s found in every EV battery anode, and producing graphite in the forms needed to build high-performance battery cells is a complex and exacting process. Solid-state, lithium-sulfur, sodium batteries—would all of these still be using graphite in the anode?

The EV Transition Explained: Battery Challenges

Cars That Think

EVs require automakers to design new manufacturing processes and build plants to make both EVs and their batteries. This means that EV winners and losers will in great part be separated by their “relative strength in their cyber-physical systems engineering,” states Clemson’s Paredis.
