CARB approves new requirements to further reduce air pollution from Transport Refrigeration Units

Green Car Congress

Despite the progress made, TRU emissions still contribute to an increased health risk especially in communities that are already hard hit by air pollution from truck traffic, and where large numbers of these units congregate, such as refrigerated warehouses and distribution centers, grocery stores, seaport facilities, and intermodal railyards.

BNEF report finds hydrogen promising decarbonization pathway, but carbon prices and emissions policies required

Green Car Congress

The falling cost of making hydrogen from wind and solar power offers a promising route to cutting emissions in some of the most fossil-fuel-dependent sectors of the economy, such as steel, heavy-duty vehicles, shipping and cement, according to a new report from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Abatement cost with hydrogen at $1/kg (7.4/MMBtu).

Chinese steel group Tsingshan investing $375M to build lithium plant in Argentina with Eramet

Green Car Congress

It is a key milestone in the deployment of our strategic roadmap which aims at positioning Eramet as a reference player in metals for the energy transition. Fresh water is then used to release the stored lithium. Our decision to carry out our lithium project in Argentina is in line with the dynamic of strong market growth.

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

In the figure "ton" refers to metric tonne and CNT, carbon nanotube. The C2CNT production is achieved at a fraction of the current cost of manufacturing nanotubes and results in a cost of carbon savings in the materials production significantly below the current cost of carbon mitigation.

NREL study finds high-pressure hydrogen pipeline system could potentially make hydrogen cost-competitive with gasoline

Green Car Congress

About half of the levelized cost of retail station hydrogen can be attributed to hydrogen delivery, compression, and dispensing costs. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that a dispensed cost of about $7/kg must be achieved to make FCEVs competitive with gasoline internal combustion engine vehicles in early FCEV markets.

What Does Battery Storage Mean for EV Drivers?

Blink Charging

Blink Charging recently announced our first battery energy storage system (also referred to as a BES system or BESS) in Pennsylvania that includes four direct current fast chargers (DCFCs). A BES system is a solution for businesses that want to store energy for later use. until 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

5 Big Ideas for High-Temperature Superconductors

Cars That Think

It refers to materials that superconduct above −195.79 °C, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. Energy Storage Unlike conventional batteries, which use chemicals to store energy, superconducting magnetic-energy storage (SMES) uses a magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a coil of superconducting material.
