Battery startup Sparkz, United Mine Workers of America announce labor-management agreement for W Va Gigafactory

Green Car Congress

This agreement is a win-win for the laid-off coal miners who will work in this facility, their families and their communities. We look forward to working with Sparkz to build on this initiative as traditional energy workers meet the challenges of the ongoing energy transition. —UMWA International President Cecil E.

IEA: governments must act to ensure sufficient supply of critical minerals to meet net-zero goals

Green Car Congress

Not only is this a massive increase in absolute terms, but as the costs of technologies fall, mineral inputs will account for an increasingly important part of the value of key components, making their overall costs more vulnerable to potential mineral price swings.

Study concludes abundant shale gas is neither climate hero nor villain; need for targeted GHG reduction policy

Green Car Congress

They also found that abundant natural gas can, however, help reduce the costs of achieving GHG reduction goals. If natural gas is abundant and less expensive, it will encourage greater natural gas consumption and less consumption of fuels such as coal, renewables and nuclear power.

DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. In prior work with DOE, MTR has advanced membrane CO 2 capture technology for coal power plants through small engineering scale testing and studies.

Altex & Unitel partner to demonstrate a new technology for making synthetic gasoline from biomass

Green Car Congress

Altex Technologies has selected Unitel to provide engineering services to design and build a pilot system that will produce 1 BPD of synthetic gasoline from biomass (Biomass Conversion to Synthetic Gasoline System, BCSGS). It also reduces cost by avoiding the need for hot-gas cleanup and F-T catalysts. Carbonaceous materials—e.g.,
