GEMINA’s goal is to reduce fixed operations and maintenance (O&M) costs from ~13 $/MWh in the current fleet to ~2 $/MWh in the advanced fleet. These projects will work to develop digital twin technology to reduce O&M costs in the next generation of nuclear power plants. —ARPA-E Director Lane Genatowski.

The idea, says Daniel Codd , a researcher in renewable energy systems at the University of California, San Diego, is to store solar-produced heat in rock formations below the surface, creating a solar-charged geothermal resource in which heat is stored for meaningful durations. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”

Researchers at Stanford University have devised a new strategy for using CO 2 in the synthesis of multi-carbon compounds. Despite the many desirable attributes of PEF, the plastics industry has yet to find a low-cost way to manufacture it at scale. She then heated the mixture to about 200 ˚C to form a molten salt.
