Imperial Oil and E3 Lithium partner on lithium pilot project, redeveloping historic oil field

Green Car Congress

The pilot will support E3 Lithium’s Clearwater project, which will draw lithium from under the Leduc oil field, Imperial’s historic discovery that first launched major oil and gas development in Western Canada. This liquid is immediately returned underground as part of a closed-loop system.

UK, Iran team develops new materials to improve enhanced oil recovery

Green Car Congress

The new nanoparticle-surfactant complexes, composed of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant and fumed silica nanoparticles (Si-NPs) improve oil recovery to 58% compared to 45% in the presence of the surfactant alone. Barron reported their find in the ACS journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. Barron is the Charles W.

How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

For EVs to deliver their full emission-reducing potential, the battery supply chain must be as clean as possible, and cathode active materials (CAM) are a key part of the sustainability equation. It’s part of our circular business model which we adopted 23 years ago. Third is the choice of raw materials.
