UP Catalyst CO2-derived carbon nanotube electrode material boosts cycle life in Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The development of this new electrode material is a significant step towards achieving these goals, as it not only enhances battery performance, but also helps to mitigate the impact of carbon emissions on the environment. From every 3.7 tons of CO 2 , one ton of carbon material is produced.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

In France, for example, the hydrogen producer Lhyfe is operating a pilot project called SEM-REV off the coast of Saint-Nazaire, which has been producing small amounts of hydrogen since September 2022. At Siemens Energy, we are working with a consortium of 32 partners from industry and academia on a wind-and-hydrogen project called H2Mare.
