Liebherr converted this massive mining excavator to electric power

Baua Electric

For the first time in the company’s 40-year history, Liebherr have converted one of their R 9400 excavators from a conventional diesel to an electric powertrain. The converted R 9400 can be connected to a constant power source for energy, either directly to the grid or to a large scale BESS. Far too many to list here, in fact.

Berkeley researchers propose salted biomass as scalable, economical and stable carbon capture and storage solution

Green Car Congress

The result is carbon-negative, making this approach a potential game changer, according to Eli Yablonovitch, lead author and Professor in the Graduate School in UC Berkeley’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. By comparison, some direct air capture and carbon dioxide gas sequestration strategies cost US$600 per tonne.)
