Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

In a region known for long, dark winter nights, Polar Night Energy is building a system in the city of Tampere that can heat buildings with stored solar energy — all day, all night, and all winter long. Out of Finland’s energy-related emissions, 82 percent come from heating domestic buildings (Ref.

EU Innovation Fund grants €108M to RWE’s waste-to-hydrogen project FUREC

Green Car Congress

As part of the FUREC project, RWE plans to build a pre-treatment plant in Zevenellen, Limburg, to convert non-recyclable municipal solid waste (MSW) into solid recovered fuel pellets. For comparison: This is equivalent to the output of a 700-megawatt offshore wind farm with coupled electrolyzers. textiles, paper).

“Project Volt Gas Volt” proposes long-term financing plan to support widespread implementation of power-to-gas systems

Green Car Congress

Project Volt Gas Volt is based on a long-term financing plan and the use of existing technologies for the large-scale conversion of surplus renewable electricity to methane, with subsequent reuse. Audi, along with ETOGAS, is building the first commercial-scale demonstration plant (6.3 Financing Project VGV: the Green Redemption Fund.

Is Europe’s Nuclear Phaseout Starting to Phase Out?

Cars That Think

Following somewhat in Messmer's footsteps, French president Emmanuel Macron announced a plan earlier this month to build at least six new reactors to help the country decarbonize by 2050.

Liquid metal battery company Ambri raises $35M in Series C

Green Car Congress

Ambri, developer of Liquid Metal Battery grid-scale energy storage technology, closed a $35-million Series C equity financing. The energy is stored in the liquid metals that want to react with one another but can do so only by transferring ions across the electrolyte, which results in the flow of electric current out of the battery.
