This investment is part of our ongoing strategy to put the UK at the forefront of low carbon vehicle technology. The work will help to accelerate the reduction of carbon emissions and deliver mass-market low carbon road vehicles within 5 to 15 years. Other projects include: TSB Low-Carbon Vehicle Technology Awards.

EVs reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, but the lithium-ion batteries that power them suffer from an image problem. Although they’re less likely to catch fire than internal combustion engine vehicles, Li-ion battery fires burn hotter, faster and longer than gasoline fires. New Technology; New Advances.

Research focuses on supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO 2 ) Brayton-cycle turbines, which typically would be used for bulk thermal and nuclear generation of electricity, including next-generation power reactors. The Brayton cycle could yield 20 MW of electricity from a package with a volume as small as four cubic meters.

As she drives her electric vehicle to her mother’s house, Monique’s battery gauge indicates that it’s time to reenergize. Flow batteries are safe, stable, long-lasting, and easily refilled, qualities that suit them well for balancing the grid, providing uninterrupted power, and backing up sources of electricity.

Hydrogen produced by water electrolysis has the potential to be a useful means of storing excess electricity generated using wind, solar, and other intermittent renewable energy. Biogas, including anaerobic digester gas, can be reformed to produce hydrogen and used in a fuel cell to produce significant amounts of electricity and heat.

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. We need a way of producing alternative cleaner fuels, minimizing use of hydrocarbons, or at a minimum recycling the carbon dioxide to form these more useful fuels.
