Umicore last week inaugurated its carbon-neutral production facility for cathode active materials (CAM) for electric vehicles in Nysa, Poland. The Nysa plant is fully powered by renewable electricity from a nearby onshore wind farm, enabling Umicore’s carbon-neutral growth ambitions.

With nuclear power facing an uncertain future in many countries, the world risks a steep decline in its use in advanced economies that could result in billions of tonnes of additional carbon emissions, according to a new report by the International Energy Agency. If other low-carbon sources—i.e.,

Preem’s objective is to produce three million cubic meters (793 million gallons US) of renewable fuel yearly by 2030, which would account for the bulk of the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in the Swedish transport sector. Vattenfall can provide hydrogen gas required for the production of drop-in biofuels.

In an SOFC electrolysis system, fuel cells convert excess power from renewable generation to turn water into hydrogen, addressing intermittency and storage issues for wind and solar. Companies and research organisations from Estonia, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Germany and the UK were involved. NELLHI received €1.6 million (US$1.9

A year ago I published an assessment of a quite remarkably bad, unpeer-reviewed paper by one of the Geological Survey of Finland’s (GTK) associate professors, Simon Michaux. The paper’s quite risible conclusions were that there wasn’t nearly enough metal in the ground to be able to electrify everything with renewables.

It is a daunting question that a startup called Polar Night Energy, in the small and chilly nation of Finland (Figure 1), is attempting to answer. The electrical grid also supports the efficient distribution of power and makes use of energy generated through renewable means like wind and solar.

However, at the start of its useful life an EV tends to come with a higher “carbon backpack” because of the battery. Cathode active materials are not only a performance and cost driver in EV batteries—they are also a significant contributor to an EV’s overall emissions, so the cathode is in the spotlight of carbon reduction efforts.

However, electric vehicles basically are emission-free at least when they are powered by electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar, etc. As the average energy mix in Europe is less carbon-intensive primarily as it has a high share of hydro and nuclear power.
