ARPA-E awards $42M to 12 projects for advanced EV batteries; EVs4ALL program

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) will award $42 million to 12 projects to strengthen the domestic supply chain for advanced batteries that power electric vehicles (EVs). The TMCT also enables cold startup times of less than a minute at ambient temperatures of -20°C, making the TMSSB advantageous in cold climates.

DOE awards Cummins $5M for automation of electrolyzer cell and stack assembly

Green Car Congress

To dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet ambitious climate goals, we must invest now in scaling electrolyzer manufacturing and green hydrogen production to create a viable zero-emissions ecosystem. We believe green hydrogen will be critical to a decarbonized future, particularly for hard-to-abate sectors.

Researchers convert atmospheric CO2 to carbon nanofibers and nanotubes for use as anodes in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. times above that of sodium-ion batteries with graphite electrodes.

Nornickel presents market review of nickel and platinum group metals

Green Car Congress

Ultimately, it contradicts the very concept of electric vehicles being an environmentally-friendly and climate-change-favorable type of transport, Nornickel said. Nornickel revised its forecast for a nickel market surplus in 2023 from 110 kt to more than 200 kt, with the bulk of this coming from low-grade nickel.
