Fraunhofer suggests e-scooters as application for its magnesium hydride paste hydrogen storage technology

Green Car Congress

POWERPASTE stores hydrogen in a chemical form at room temperature and atmospheric pressure to be then released on demand, said Dr. Marcus Vogt, research associate at Fraunhofer IFAM. This means that POWERPASTE can offers a range comparable to—or even greater than—gasoline. Source: Fraunhofer IFAM. —Marcus Vogt.

QUB spin-out to commercialize to technique for production of MOFs; storage for natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

By simply grinding together two cheap precursors in a basic milling machine, the MOF material is produced in a matter of minutes, in a powder form, ready for applications without further treatment, and without generating solvent waste. There are an abundance of sites where gas molecules can adsorb to the material.

Jülich, ORNL researchers advance high energy density iron-air batteries

Green Car Congress

In addition, their main constituent—iron—is an abundant and therefore cheap material. The oxygen required for the reaction can be drawn from the surrounding air so that it does not need to be stored in the battery. In this process, the iron oxidizes almost exactly as it would during the rusting process.

Volvo XC40 Recharge and Polestar 2: EV cousins offer different takes on “premium”

Charged EVs

It’s called the XC40 Recharge, and the earliest versions aren’t cheap, priced from about $55,000 including delivery. The XC40 Recharge has considerably more horsepower and torque than its gasoline-powered AWD counterpart: 300 kilowatts (402 hp) and 486 lb-ft versus 248 hp and 258 lb-ft. Until now, it’s had no plug-in option.
