Hybrid biomass flow battery stores electricity and produces valuable chemicals at the same time

Green Car Congress

A paper on the work is published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition. A rechargeable biomass battery was designed to integrate electricity storage/generation and electrosynthesis of useful chemicals from furfural in one system. By electrocatalyst (Rh1Cu single-atom alloy) and cathode redox pair (Co 0.2 Resources Li, J.,

Study Finds Bioelectricity Better Option Than Liquid Biofuels for Transportation Output and GHG Emissions

Green Car Congress

With BEVs and ICVs of similar size, one can travel farther on biomass grown on a hectare of land when it is converted to electricity than when it is converted to ethanol.For this case, the gross transportation output per hectare is 85% greater for bioelectricity than cellulosic ethanol.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

In fact, the code name for it internally was “the sandbox,” because we wanted to be able to build up a sandcastle and learn from that process and knock it down and build another one. If Tesla needs to come in and build a charging site, they’ve got to pay for the grid connection. What they do is they rate-base that work.
