We Don’t Need a Jetsons Future, Just a Sustainable One

Cars That Think

For decades, our vision of the future has been stuck in a 1960s-era dream of science fiction embodied by The Jetsons and space travel. In fact, what if our vision of that particular technologically advanced future is all wrong? Where we could manage and then reduce the amount of carbon in our atmosphere?

IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen can significantly reduce geopolitical risks if the diversity of future hydrogen energy suppliers is increased. The oxygen could be used to increase the efficiency of power generation with oxy-combustion and to facilitate the capture, use, and storage of carbon (CCUS). The hydrogen is liquefied where electricity is cheap.

NACFE releases guidance report on hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks

Green Car Congress

The future acceleration of HFCEVs is likely not about the vehicles and fueling but resides mostly on the creation and distribution of the hydrogen itself.??. Hydrogen is a regional solution, cheap hydrogen even more so. In a zero-emission future world, as in California’s plans, diesel does not exist.

IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

PNNL team develops electrolyte for high-voltage sodium-ion battery with extended longevity

Green Car Congress

Cheap and abundant, sodium is a promising candidate for new battery technology. In addition to the stable SEI on a hard carbon (HC) anode, we also show a stable interphase formation on a NaNi 0.68 However, the limited performance of sodium-ion batteries has hindered large-scale application.
