DOE to award $118M to 17 projects to accelerate domestic biofuel production

Green Car Congress

Financing for novel biorefinery process systems can be a barrier to commercializing advanced biofuels, and this funding will reduce technological uncertainties and enable industry deployment. This project will demonstrate the conversion of gaseous carbon wood wastes (terpenes) to renewable Terpenes SAF blending components.

How to Get Started with EV Charging for Hotels and Resorts

Blink Charging

This type of charging would likely be found at retailers, truck stops, and roadside convenience stores , where EV drivers will exit the highway for a meal or rest stop before continuing their journey. Conversely, destination charging is needed at a traveler’s final destination, such as a hotel, resort, or conference center.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility. And there are states like Georgia where public interveners don’t have any right to discovery. We’re configuring that to plug into all these different open-source planning tools.
