DOE awarding ~$44M to seven carbon capture projects

Green Car Congress

EPRI) will produce an engineering design and cost estimate of a membrane-based post-combustion CO 2 capture system on Duke Energy’s East Bend Station in Kentucky. The project team will create a model that replicates the station’s performance and will be used to estimate the impacts of retrofitting CO2 capture to the plant.

CMU study finds controlled EV charging can reduce generation cost, but at greater health and environmental costs depending upon the generation mix

Green Car Congress

Reduction in annual generation cost and external emissions costs due to controlled charging compared to uncontrolled charging ($2010). Stacked bars show the change in generation cost combined with the median damages by pollutant assuming the 2010 social cost of carbon given by the Office of Management and Budget ($31 in $2010).

Researchers propose new aluminum–sulfur battery with molten-salt electrolyte; low-cost, rechargeable, fire-resistant, recyclable

Green Car Congress

Importantly for scalability, the cell-level cost of the aluminum–sulfur battery is projected to be less than one-sixth that of current lithium-ion technologies. Having a battery system such as this to store power and then release it quickly when needed could eliminate the need for installing expensive new power lines to serve these chargers.

News: 10 Best States To Own an EV

Clean Fleet Report

The cost of buying and running an EV varies depending on where you live. Based on Jerry’s research, an EV-friendly state like Vermont has 10 times the charging infrastructure of states on the bottom of the list like Louisiana, Kentucky and Alaska. In contrast, Kentucky, West Virginia, North Dakota and Kansas had no incentives.
