Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

Batteries have a powerful spigot, but that comes at the cost of a small tub. The startup Kyoto Group , based in the Netherlands, is targeting this industrial use of heat with their thermal storage system, which stores energy in the form of molten salt. Getting a 100 percent decarbonized grid is nothing but an optimization problem.”—Matthew

The Electrifying Opportunities for EVs in 2024  

Clean Fleet Report

As charging infrastructure expands, longer-range vehicles will come onto the market. EV charger load management is critical to scale the adoption of electric vehicles without sacrificing the electricity grid’s reliability in many regions of the country. However, the U.S.

Next 10 report finds California will meet or exceed original target of 1.5M ZEVs by 2025

Green Car Congress

Current trends suggest that barriers to EV adoption such as price, range, selection and charging-time will continue to diminish, as costs come down and technology improves. Total Cost of Ownership: An analysis of 17 popular 2017 models found ZEVs can already be price competitive now, without government incentives.

Scenario study suggests increased vehicle electrification in Europe increases demand for gas in power sector; limited ability for power-to-gas

Green Car Congress

The study is based on a set of scenarios for 2050 of electrification in five European countries: Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), France (FR), Germany (DE) and the Netherlands (NL). The model results show that the social costs of a full electrification path towards 2050 vary significantly, ranging from 0.5%

Are Teslas and BYDs expensive in Australia? Not if you do the math | Opinion

EV Central

(On the plus side, Lund is super confident that we will see EVs with a range between charges of 1000km-plus, and soon, so that will help.) Infrastructure is infinitely easier in countries like the Netherlands, thanks to population density. And you’re also looking at a grid that’s built near roads. Balmo said. “A

Study finds that dry-feed gasification for coal-to-liquids is more efficient, lower-emitting and cheaper than slurry-feed; CCS cost-effective for reduction of CO2

Green Car Congress

A co-production scenario—yet to be commercial—would take unconverted syngas from the FT reactor and combust it in a combined cycle power plant to generate electricity that is sold to the grid. GHGT-10 took place 9-23 September 2010 in RAI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Source: Mantripragada and Rubin. Click to enlarge.

Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

However, achieving either goal would likely require governments offering hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in EV subsidies to ICE owners over the next decade, not to mention significant investments in EV charging infrastructure and the electrical grid. Concatenated costs also include changing multiple personal behaviors.
