Stanford team develops ultra-fast aluminum-ion battery with stability over thousands of cycles

Green Car Congress

Aluminum has long been an attractive material for batteries, mainly because of its low cost, low flammability and high-charge storage capacity. For decades, researchers have tried unsuccessfully to develop a commercially viable aluminum-ion battery. Our new battery won’t catch fire, even if you drill through it.

UK Carbon Trust report says fuel cell vehicles could take more than 30% of mid-sized car market by 2050

Green Car Congress

It would also reduce global carbon emissions from vehicles by an additional 260 million tonnes per year by 2050—equivalent to the current annual emissions of Taiwan. Our new analysis shows that the future is bright but innovation is essential to unlock the market potential by driving down the costs of new polymer fuel cells.

GE Introduces Upgraded 7FA Gas Turbine for Power Generation; Improved Output and Efficiency

Green Car Congress

The continuing evolution of GE’s gas turbine technology supports a growing industry trend toward the use of natural gas. That available supply, coupled with the current low cost and the fact that natural gas emits less carbon than other fossil fuels, has spurred many power generators to consider switching from other fuels to gas.
