UK to award £54M to 15 projects developing innovative carbon removal technology

Green Car Congress

The money will help projects further develop their greenhouse gas removal technologies, which include a machine that can pull carbon dioxide out of the air, a plant to convert household waste into hydrogen for use in the transport industry, and a system to remove carbon dioxide from seawater. Biohydrogen Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstration”.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions. Getting a 100 percent decarbonized grid is nothing but an optimization problem.”—Matthew When does it make sense to buy electricity directly from the grid?

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. If you buy a new lithium battery today, almost none of the minerals came from a prior battery. They all came from mined materials.

Is Europe’s Nuclear Phaseout Starting to Phase Out?

Cars That Think

Scientists from the EU Joint Research Centre agreed, reporting that nuclear power doesn’t cause undue environmental harm, despite the need to store nuclear waste. The obvious answer might be solar and wind. It’s entirely possible that the picture might change as solar and wind costs continue to fall and as renewables expand.

UK power crisis – entirely the fault of regulators and ministers

EV Info

The UK has been a leader in deploying on and offshore wind turbines. What we have not done so well is to ensure that we have a solid base level of generation to supply electricity when there is no sun and no wind. At the time of writing, mid-morning 21 Sept, we have: Wind 9%. Smart Meters waste. Nuclear 15%. Biomass 5%.

Solar-powered off-grid EV charging stations offer surprisingly attractive cost advantages

Charged EVs

By cutting red tape and avoiding costs for construction and electrical work, combined with free solar energy, Beam Global says its EV ARC systems can offer customers a lower total cost of ownership compared to grid-tied charging stations. This may well be the case with the EV ARC, a solar-powered off-grid charging station made by Beam Global.
