Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams. Other batteries are coming from battery energy storage systems. We’ll see how it plays out with lithium.

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

Not least of those considerations is energy storage [and generation].” A team including researchers from Japan’s Tohoku University recently developed a durable, efficient energy harvester that combines piezoelectric composites with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). They said, ‘We don’t know.

ARPA-E awards $55M to 18 projects in two new programs: TERRA for transportation energy and GENSETS for distributed generation

Green Car Congress

Researchers will design and build cutting-edge phenotyping platforms that can rapidly collect visual imagery, hyperspectral imagery and 3-D shape data of test crops multiple times daily. Compared to conventional electricity generation and transmission, CHP captures the otherwise wasted heat and makes it available for useful application.
