NREL, INL team assesses levelized cost of light-duty EV charging in US in 2019

Green Car Congress

A team from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Idaho National Laboratory has produced a detailed assessment of the current levelized cost of light-duty electric-vehicle charging (LCOC) in the United States, considering when, where, and how EVs are charged. kWh); however, costs vary considerably (e.g.,

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. Westinghouse will lead front-end engineering designs (FEEDs) development for nuclear-coupled hydrogen production at specific, multiple US LWR plants.

DOE Co-Optima report identifies top ten bio-blendstocks for efficiency in boosted SI engines

Green Car Congress

One of the first of its kind, this comprehensive systematic assessment includes a broad range of biomass-derived molecules and mixtures across many chemical families—more than 400 bio-derived molecules. First and foremost, only three (ethanol, isobutanol and di-isobutylene) are currently allowed in market fuels.

Heat Pumps Take on Cold Climates

Cars That Think

Heat pumps can reduce emissions and cut energy costs The DOE is pushing for wider adoption of heat pumps because of their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Such systems run on electricity rather than fossil fuels, and when the electricity comes from renewable sources, the greenhouse gas savings are substantial , the DOE says.
