How LEED v4.1 Provides Points for EV Charging

Blink Charging

We previously discussed how electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) can help you collect Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits. Since then, the United States Green Building Council, the organization that administers LEED, has released the latest version of the environmental accreditation: LEED v4.1.

Sandy solution for renewable energy storage; Thermal Energy Storage System

Green Car Congress

Sand is emerging as a key ingredient in the race to develop a viable electricity storage system for renewable energies. Australia-based Latent Heat Storage has developed a low cost thermal energy storage system based on the latent heat properties of silicon derived from sand. by Andrew Spence. —Jonathan Whalley.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) They also consume 75 percent of all electricity used.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

Vanadium is used in the most commercially advanced flow-battery technology now in development, but it sets a rather high floor on the cost per kilowatt-hour at any scale. So far, we’ve seen no sign of degradation after more than 100 cycles, but commercial applications require thousands of cycles. Commercialization.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

Here at Charged , we’ve been covering the commercial EV market for a decade. After many discussions with players in the commercial EV field, we realized that the problem was proving the performance of EVs. However, the electric road ahead is not exactly clear. Rustam Kocher has been a pioneer in the commercial EV field.

Groupe Renault creating first European factory dedicated to the circular economy of mobility in Flins

Green Car Congress

The implementation of this industrial and commercial ecosystem will take place gradually between 2021 and 2024, replacing the production of new vehicles. New operating opportunities such as stationary storage make it possible to perpetuate the service that the battery offers.

MIT researchers conclude fundamental changes in the US energy-innovation system are needed to meet challenges of climate change and energy supply

Green Car Congress

The build-up of greenhouse bases in the atmosphere continues unabated, and its environmental and human costs are mounting. The energy/climate debate of rent years has been dominated by the idea that the price of fossil fuels must be raised to reflect the full cost of their use. Business as usual is unsustainable over the long run.
