USDA Report Provides Regional Roadmap To Meeting the Biofuels Goals of the Renewable Fuels Standard by 2022; Southeast to Provide ~50% of Advanced Biofuels

Green Car Congress

Assuming an average biorefinery size of 40 million gallons per year, USDA estimates it meeting the RFS2 advanced biofuels goals will mean building of 527 biorefineries, at a cost of $168 billion. The US farm sector is capable of producing a diverse complement of feedstocks to make the biofuels industry a truly national effort.

Five New Fusion Prospects, Minus the Neutrons

Cars That Think

Gerald Kulcinski, University of Wisconsin A new breed of maverick fusioneers is aiming to solve the neutron problem. They also produce little or no radioactive waste. In typical magnetic-confinement designs, about 60 percent of the cost of the machine is the cost of the magnets.

Lifecycle study finds that environmental impacts of silicon-anode Li-ion battery could be roughly comparable with conventional Li-ion battery

Green Car Congress

In particular, silicon nanowires (SiNW) are widely studied as a promising anode material for high-capacity LIBs due to its low cost of fabrication and volume production potential. Although future industrial-scale productions will be different from current lab-scales, the team noted, the fundamental mechanism and processes should be similar.

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

Green Car Congress

Andrew Frank is a significant industry dignitary credited as being the “Inventor” (or “Father”) of the modern day Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. About Dr. Frank.
