Fulcrum BioEnergy, the parent company of Fulcrum Sierra BioFuels, has applied for a new fuel pathway under the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCSF) for its process of converting municipal solid waste (MSW) into Fischer-Tropsch (“FT”) diesel fuel. Natural gas is used for process energy and additional power is imported from the grid.

Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. The company is building a new plant in Nevada, and aims to be processing 10,000 tons of black mass (equivalent to about 150,000 EV battery packs) annually by 2025. The output consists of those critical battery minerals and metals.

However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. An acre of desert in Arizona, Nevada and many other places on earth sees on the order of 3,000 hours of direct sun per year. Buffett has not only seen the light but invested heavily therein.

440 fission reactors operating worldwide, which together can generate about 400 gigawatts of power with zero carbon emissions. And as the technology matures, it could also find uses here on Earth, such as for small power plants for individual buildings, which would reduce fossil-fuel dependency and increase grid resiliency.

Whereas, battery EVs fueled on average grid electricity emit 105–124 g CO2 eq./km, UCS also reported that once the grid is fully renewable, the number for EVs is reduced to 41 g CO2 eq./km. What is the impact on the EV lifecycle carbon footprint? Audi’s e-Tron batteries are manufactured at a carbon-neutral facility.
