Travertine will develop the design basis for a 1 ton/day CO 2 removal system to demonstrate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of this concept, taking it from proof-of-concept to field-ready. Leached critical elements are recovered as oxides, while carbonate minerals are precipitated using carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the air.

Many still-speculative small modular reactor designs might deliver just a few hundred megawatts. (In Depending on the design, these could be cooled with less water or even air, making them far more feasible fits for coal sites. In West Virginia, once coal’s citadel, the state government eliminated its old ban on nuclear power plants.

An in-depth study based on first-principles calculations by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University has shown that the anions of commercially available electrolytes for Li-ion batteries are all superhalogens. The implication of our research is that similar strategies can also be used to design cathode materials in Li-ion batteries.

This includes research on appropriate anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes for magnesium (Mg)-, sodium (Na)-, and lithium (Li)-based batteries and novel transition metal oxide- and nitride-based supercapacitor electrode materials. Sodium is another element that is less expensive than lithium. Earlier post.) Novel cathodes and anodes.

Researchers will design and build cutting-edge phenotyping platforms that can rapidly collect visual imagery, hyperspectral imagery and 3-D shape data of test crops multiple times daily. The program will provide $25 million to support 12 project teams to design, build and test improved natural gas-powered generators for residential use.
