Traditionally, thermoelectric materials researchers have focused on a high thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT) as the only parameter pursued in thermoelectric materials for high conversion efficiency. It can be used with waste-heat applications and concentrated solar energy conversion at temperatures up to 300 ? —Liu et al.

Health and safety concerns, like the impact of diesel particulate exhaust emissions on construction worker health, and noise, could be equally important drivers. While there are far fewer trucks than cars globally to convert to electric, they use much larger batteries (several hundred kWh) and accounted for 4.3 GWh annually in 2021.

A team at Monsanto and colleagues at AVL Powertrain have successfully designed and demonstrated an onboard low-temperature ethanol reformer that can be driven by exhaust heat. Many papers have described high-temperature steam reforming of ethanol at around 600 °C but.this temperature is too high to be driven by engine exhaust.

Some specific goals include: Cutting battery costs from their current $500/kWh to $125/kWh. Reducing the cost of electric drive systems from $30/kW to $8/kW. The projects must utilize WBG switches to demonstrate their inherent benefits while providing needed application-level performance, durability, and cost data.

According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29% at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Part of the gain from advanced-level CI diesel engines comes from downsizing.

And I’m careful about choosing these fights because they’re very exhausting. And by that do you mean they were fronting the costs of the rebates and then not recouping them from the utilities? I’ve been amazed that most companies seem to front the cost, even start ups. This is not Bradley Bartz. That’s correct. Sunpower panels.
