Chalmers team identifies two main challenges for bio-hydrocarbon fuel production from cheap sources

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have identified two main challenges for renewable biofuel production from cheap sources: lowering the cost of developing microbial cell factories; and establishing more efficient methods for hydrolysis of biomass to sugars for fermentation. That is in line with our research too.

IIASA-led study proposes Underground Gravity Energy Storage as long-term energy storage solution for renewables

Green Car Congress

Renewable energy sources are central to the energy transition toward a more sustainable future. However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial.

IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen can significantly reduce geopolitical risks if the diversity of future hydrogen energy suppliers is increased. This would increase the viability of a global hydrogen economy in the future and increase the number of hydrogen suppliers for energy-demanding regions, such as China, Europe, and Japan.

Boston Dynamics’ Founder on the Future of Robotics

Cars That Think

At the Institute, you’re starting to share your vision for the future of robotics more than you did at Boston Dynamics. You could talk about what you want to do, but people talk about all kinds of things that way—the future is so cheap, and so variable. And we’ll give them the resources they need to go after problems that way.

NACFE releases guidance report on hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks

Green Car Congress

The future acceleration of HFCEVs is likely not about the vehicles and fueling but resides mostly on the creation and distribution of the hydrogen itself.??. Hydrogen is a regional solution, cheap hydrogen even more so. In a zero-emission future world, as in California’s plans, diesel does not exist.

PNNL team develops electrolyte for high-voltage sodium-ion battery with extended longevity

Green Car Congress

Cheap and abundant, sodium is a promising candidate for new battery technology. However, the limited performance of sodium-ion batteries has hindered large-scale application. The research team continues to refine their design. 2022) “Low-solvation electrolytes for high-voltage sodium-ion batteries.”
