Umicore to build cathode active material plant in Canada

Green Car Congress

The planned facility would be the first of its kind in North America, combining cathode and precursor materials manufacturing at a large industrial scale and thereby completing the missing link in Canada’s battery value chain, from natural resources to electric mobility.

Volkswagen striving to make production of the electric ID. carbon-neutral

Green Car Congress

From a lifecycle view, this additional carbon burden is offset compared to the combustion engine vehicle during the use phase, as EVs rack up zero-emission miles that eventually pull the EV ahead of the ICE. to be completely carbon-neutral, thereby not only levelling, but eliminating that production-phase CO 2 burden.

CLEPA study: EV-only approach would lead to the loss of half a million supplier jobs in the EU

Green Car Congress

By complementing electrification, a mixed technology approach allowing use of renewable fuels could deliver a 50% CO 2 reduction by 2030, while maintaining jobs and creating value-add. By contrast, Central Eastern European countries will shape the run-down of ICE vehicle production.

Researchers synthesize battery cathode from lignin derivatives

Green Car Congress

Grzegorz Milczarek from Poznan University of Technology (Poland), and Olle Inganäs from Linköping University (Sweden), have combined lignin derivatives, which are electronic insulators, with polypyrole, a conductive polymer, into an interpenetrating composite suitable for use as a battery cathode.

EEA: Higher EU greenhouse gas emissions in 2010 due to economic recovery and cold winter

Green Car Congress

Nonetheless, emissions growth was somewhat contained by continued strong growth in renewable energy sources. However, the increase could have been even higher without the fast expansion of renewable energy generation in the EU. As in previous years the growth in the use of renewable energy sources continued in 2010 with a 12.7%
