ARPA-E’s new program, Robust Affordable Next Generation Energy Storage Systems (RANGE) ( earlier post ), aims to accelerate widespread EV adoption by dramatically improving driving range and reliability, and by providing low-cost, low-carbon alternatives to today’s vehicles.

Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have performed life cycle assessments (LCA) of three batteries for plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and full performance battery electric (BEV) vehicles. They also found higher life cycle global warming emissions than have been previously reported. —Majeau-Bettez et al.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) constructed an optimization model to determine the optimal vehicle design and allocation of conventional, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles to drivers in order to minimize life cycle cost, petroleum consumption, and GHG emissions.

Two tanks with a three-layer structure made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and other materials are used to store hydrogen at 70 MPa (approximately 700 bars or 10,000 psi). Middle layer: carbon fiber reinforced plastic (structural element). Toyota is using a NiMH battery in the Mirai. High-pressure Hydrogen Tanks.

The main study shows that under all nine scenarios for both rates of market penetration of PHEVs and the evolving power grids characteristics (capacity/carbon intensity), PHEVs will vastly reduce greenhouse gases for the next 40 years. But theyve needed definitive proof that PHEVs wont increase pollution. The GREET 1.6

Alternative combinations, such as Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), which has a little better lifetime, are occasionally used. Two electrodes, one positive and one negative are sandwiched around an organic (carbon-containing) liquid to make up a lithium-ion battery.

We also think that with more people realizing that global warming is our greatest challenge, and that evolving the transportation sector to zero-carbon via cellulosic ethanol plug-in hybrids plus electricity from renewable sources may be our best strategy, the discussions about payback are a narrow answer to big questions. How can I help?
