Penn State, EC Power use internal thermal modulation to enable stable fast charging

Green Car Congress

Further, we build a digital twin of such a battery pack to assess its cooling and safety and demonstrate that thermally modulated 4C charging only requires air convection. The technology relies on internal thermal modulation, an active method of temperature control to demand the best performance possible from the battery, Wang explained.

IRENA, IEA study concludes meeting 2?C scenario possible with net positive economics

Green Car Congress

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by 70% by 2050 and completely phased-out by 2060 with a net positive economic outlook, according to new findings released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). Liquid biofuel production must grow ten-fold.
