Photo: 24M Technologies MIT spinout and battery maker 24M Technologies today debuted a new direct-material battery recycling process for EV batteries and battery storage. The approach also improves the batteries’ energy density, safety, and recyclability. Usually, only the more expensive metals are salvaged for reuse.

The US Department of Energy is awarding $106 million in funding for 37 research projects selected in the second round by the DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). The aerobic microbe has been engineered at MIT and is capable of converting a variety of organic compounds into oil, from which biodiesel may be produced.

Co-founded by MIT’s Dr. Yet-Ming Chiang, 24M’s Chief Scientist, the company is leveraging existing, preferred energy storage chemistry but using a new cell design with semi-solid (a mixture of solid and liquid phases) thick electrodes and manufacturing innovations to deliver what it says will be up to a 50% reduction in current Li-ion costs.

These fermentation processes create carbon as a byproduct, with some processes wasting more than 1/3 of this carbon as CO 2 emissions. Renewable electricity is now competitive with and in many instances less expensive than fossil fuel-derived electricity, but its storage remains challenging. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Conventional large-scale gasto-liquid reactors produce waste-heat, reducing the energy. Such natural gas contains energy. Capturing this energy would reduce both waste. areas to convert otherwise wasted gas into usable chemicals that. operates at room temperature, is more energy efficient, and less.
