Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. Because so much energy is lost turning steam back into water in the Rankine cycle, at most a third of the power in the steam can be converted into electricity.

Volvo CE and Rolls-Royce develop wood-burning charger for off-grid EVs

Baua Electric

When work is being done off the grid in remote locations, it can be hard to keep construction equipment fueled up – regardless of whether that fuel is liquid or electric. A collaborative effort between Volvo CE , Rolls-Royce , and Air Burners, the BioCharger uses “air curtain technology” to burn wood and waste in a closed-loop system.
