Energy Vault to provide 1.6 GWh of gravity energy storage to support DG Fuels SAF projects

Green Car Congress

This initial project will be followed by additional projects in British Columbia and Ohio. DG Fuels (DGF) aims to develop several facilities in North America and Europe, designed to produce low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel by combining carbon from waste feedstock with green hydrogen from renewable sources.

ORCnext project concludes waste heat recovery efficiency can be boosted by 20-25%

Green Car Congress

The four-year projet ORCNext , aimed at developing knowledge and design tools for next generation of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs), has concluded that waste heat recovery efficiency can be increased by 20 to 25% through appropriate cycle selection, efficient expanders, appropriate control and less oversizing of the heat exchangers.

DOE announces $150M cost-share award for first domestic production of HALEU for advanced nuclear reactors

Green Car Congress

This is higher than the 3 to 5 percent U-235 concentration, or “assay,” of Low-Enriched Uranium that fuels the existing fleet of light water reactors. HALEU can also reduce the volume of waste generated. HALEU can also reduce the volume of waste generated. AC-100 centrifuge cascade at American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio.

Series production of next-generation Acura NSX hybrid supercar begins in April at new Performance Manufacturing Center

Green Car Congress

The PMC is constructing the Acura supercar entirely in-house and, like the NSX itself, is a clean-sheet development—a manufacturing facility designed around the NSX’s unique Multi-Material Body and aluminum-intensive space-frame design and optimized for low-volume production of high-performance specialty vehicles. the NSX’s 3.5-liter
