Auto sales drop to new low in Norway

Push EVs

Norway saw plugin electric vehicles take 76.3% full electrics (BEVs), and 9.8% For example, petrol-only vehicles (with relatively high CO2 emissions) are now taxed much higher in Norway. For the midsized SUVs that Norway favours, the additional outlay is roughly 8% to 10%, or more. year on year. comprised 66.5%

FREYR and 24M sign licensing and services agreement for mass production of Li-ion battery cells; Glencore for raw materials

Green Car Congress

FREYR AS and 24M Technologies signed a definitive License and Services Agreement to use 24M’s SemiSolid lithium-ion battery platform technology ( earlier post ) in FREYR’s planned facilities in Mo i Rana, Norway. This reduces the capital expenditures and enables substantial operational cost saving while increasing production throughput.

Researchers increase carbon efficiency of BtL process from 38 to >90% by adding hydrogen from renewable sources; 2.4x more fuel produced

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Norway report that the carbon efficiency of a conventional Biomass-to-Liquid (BtL) process can be increased from 38 to more than 90% by adding hydrogen from renewable energy sources. The use of high-temperature electrolysis allows some of the required energy to be supplied by available heat. Resources. Hillestad, M.
