Unico's Battery Testing Enters a Competitive Industry

Cars That Think

Paul Kohl, Georgia Institute of Technology At the battery seminar, Wright showed off a BAT300 test channel designed to convert a 400 or 800 volt direct current down to a 10 volt current for cell formation or cell testing. Battery companies have expended enormous effort on predictive modeling.” Does it really do all those things?”

DOE to award $118M to 17 projects to accelerate domestic biofuel production

Green Car Congress

Financing for novel biorefinery process systems can be a barrier to commercializing advanced biofuels, and this funding will reduce technological uncertainties and enable industry deployment. This project will demonstrate the conversion of gaseous carbon wood wastes (terpenes) to renewable Terpenes SAF blending components.

NREL-led research could lead to improved enzyme performance to break down biomass for renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

This work could be used to improve enzyme performance to better break down biomass and convert waste plant matter to renewable fuels and products. This provides insight into how the microbe is protecting and decorating its enzymes for optimal activity, which in turn provides clues on how to improve them for industrial applications.
