DOE to award up to $12M for technologies to produce renewable carbon fiber from biomass

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) will award ( DE-FOA-0000996 ) up to $12 million in funding to advance the development of a cost-competitive pathway to produce high-performance carbon fiber for vehicle lightweighting from renewable non-food biomass. Reducing a vehicle’s weight by just 10% can improve fuel economy by 6% to 8%.

Rice, Lawrence Livermore scientists characterize performance of carbon-based Li-ion battery anodes; simple descriptor

Green Car Congress

Lithium-ion batteries could benefit from a theoretical model created at Rice University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that predicts how carbon-based anodes will perform. Based on the descriptor, the researchers were able to evaluate various carbon materials. Earlier this year, Rice’s George R. Yuanyue Liu, Y. 113.028304.
