DOE awards $22.1M to 10 nuclear technology projects including clean hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

A well-established downstream syngas-to-synfuel conversion process, such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, converts the syngas to liquid synfuel for a total projected cost of less than $4/gallon. The culmination of this program will be a techno-economic assessment (TEA), led by INL, which leverages their expertise and command of such analyses.

The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

A large container ship needs about 3,000 megawatt-hours a day, which is roughly the capacity of the biggest grid battery ever built. We needed to get the conversation started.” s plan to end its attempt to build the first SMR plant in Idaho, which would have used six reactors to generate 462 MW. How is it arranged?

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.
