Researchers develop wave-energy-driven CO2 reduction system for production of carbon-based liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

This type of TENG is more cost-effective compared to conventional EMG-based wave energy converters. Finally, they present design guidelines for achieving a cost-effective, efficient, and large-scale wave-energy-driven CO 2 reduction system for liquid fuel production. Leung et al.

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design. They will incorporate experts in hydrodynamics, structural dynamics, control systems, power electronics, grid connections, and performance optimization. It has a low maintenance cost, resulting in a lower cost of energy.

DOE announces $29M in funding for fusion energy technology development

Green Car Congress

GAMOW teams will work to close multiple fusion-specific technological gaps that will be needed to connect a net-energy-gain “fusion core," once it is ready, to a deployable, commercially attractive fusion system. These innovations could reduce the cost of HTS conductors by a factor of 30. Earlier post.). Colorado School of Mines.

BMW Group, Airbus and Quantinuum present classical/quantum computation study of the ORR in fuel cells

Green Car Congress

However, for wide scale adoption, improvements in the efficiency of hydrogen-to-electricity conversion are required. Accurate ab-initio methods have been traditionally considered not applicable to such systems due to their high computational cost, but this soon may be possible thanks to the rapid advances in quantum computing.

Study suggests energy and GHG impacts of synthetic hydrocarbon fuels from CO2 are greater than impacts of existing hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

That the costs of carbon capture can be offset by producing valuable fuels or chemical products from CO 2. In the study, the team called fuels produced by the conversion of CO 2 into liquid hydrocarbon fuels using proven technologies “synthetic fuels”, and fuels produced via a production route that uses solar energy “solar fuels”.

US DOE Awards $37 Million for Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Technology Development

Green Car Congress

The goal is to develop an optimal generator for current energy conversion. Boston, Massachusetts) will develop a cost-effective, high efficiency, power take-off system for a wave energy converter, a mechanism to convert water’s mechanical energy into usable electricity. DOE Funding: $160,000. Total Project Value: $192,000.

How the EV Charging Industry Is Emerging and Evolving

EV Connect

Deloitte forecasts that by 2022, the costs of ownership for EVs will be comparable to their combustion-engine counterparts. Last year saw the first full conversion of a gas station into an electric charging station in the U.S. Ready to learn more about how EV Connect can help you with your EV charging needs?
