Hatch report finds NOVONIX dry cathode synthesis process offers cost and waste reduction improvements

Green Car Congress

a global engineering consultancy firm, has delivered its report that evaluates NOVONIX’s all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis process. The Hatch study found that NOVONIX’s process may potentially reduce power consumption by an estimated 25% and practically eliminate waste byproduct generation over the conventional process.

Study shows biodiesel blends in buses reduce PM, other harmful exhaust elements, EC and CO

Green Car Congress

In sum, they recommended that governments consider using blends of biodiesel in urban and commercial vehicles to enhance air quality. Calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), and iron (Fe) were the major elements found in the PM emissions in both the field experiments (77 to 85 wt %) and the lab experiments (up to 90 wt%). Kumar et al.
