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

Green Car Congress

SHARKS teams will develop new economically competitive Hydrokinetic Turbines (HKT) designs for tidal and riverine currents. Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources.

Skeleton, Martinrea Effenco to collaborate on fast-charging batteries in refuse collection vehicles

Green Car Congress

It can help eliminate 40-50% of CO 2 emissions in these sectors while lowering the total cost of ownership, Skeleton says. The SuperBattery technology also enables vehicle design optimization and ensures no thermal runaways occur. The first SuperBattery cells come in the supercapacitor industry standard D60 large cell form factor.
