Edeniq and Usina Vale building bagasse-to-sugars and ethanol demo plant in Brazil

Green Car Congress

Co-locating the demo plant at Usina Vale’s commercial site will accelerate the technology scale-up from demo to full-scale, and the technology will then be deployed at affiliated ethanol plants. The Brazil plant will also include the company’s proprietary reactor design for continuous enzymatic conversion of biomass to sugar.

Pi Innovo and GaN Systems collaborate to offer electronics design services for auxiliary systems for multi-voltage, hybrid and electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

Hybrids and EVs have a substantial requirement for power conversion; a drive train can be operated up to 100s of kW. GaN Systems’ compound semiconductor devices are cost-competitive with silicon devices, while offering superior performance; these gallium nitride devices use low cost GaN-on-silicon base wafers.
