Photo: China News Service Renewable energy costs in Asia last year were 13% cheaper than coal and are expected to be 32% cheaper by 2030, according to a new study. Wind power isn’t far behind While solar is surging ahead in terms of cost-effectiveness, onshore wind isn’t far behind despite costs being 38% more than solar in 2023.

Cobalt, like iron and other transition metals in the Periodic Table, is cheap and relatively abundant, but it has a propensity to undergo irreversible reactions rather than emerging unchanged from chemical reactions as is required of an effective catalyst. Click to enlarge.

All are counting on battery innovations to improve EV performance, drive down costs, and eliminate dependence on scarce materials. The ideal battery will be made of low-cost, plentiful materials that are lightweight and flexible enough to allow vehicle design innovations.

Currently, renewable hydrogen may be produced from water by electrolysis with either low efficiency alkaline electrolyzers that suffer 50–65% losses, or by more efficient acidic electrolyzers using expensive rare platinum group metal catalysts (Pt). Our new HER catalyst, Ni 5 P 4 , has the strong potential to overcome this challenge.

For Linc Energy-owned sites, Linc Energy will pay to AFC Energy an upfront payment calculated on the cost of delivery of fuel cell systems, and a royalty based on profits generated from the use of AFC Energy fuel cells. Linc Energy will own the AFC Energy stock and have the right to freely trade the stock as appropriate.

When David Cameron’s energy bill was being discussed in Parliament in 2013, the word on everybody’s lips was ‘trilemma’: how to ensure that energy was affordable, reliable and low-carbon. The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades. Gas is the only answer.

With respect to next-generation approaches, the Li-sulfur system, which relies on the use of low-cost sulfur on the positive electrode, offers promising specific energy because of the potential for storage of 2 moles of lithium for every mole of sulfur, the authors note.

Attendees believe that renewable energy needs two elements to be successful: technical progress leading to lower costs and a price on carbon. They were hoping it was going to be more aggressive in combating carbon directly through a stronger cap and trade and indirectly with a higher federal renewable energy standard.

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. But that cost in a built as an EV is much less than an ICE’s costs by about 1/2. Next: a carbon tax. Follow the money.
