Axion supplying PbC batteries to Norfolk Southern for all-battery switcher and working on line-haul hybrid locomotives; micro-hybrid and stationary expansion

Green Car Congress

Compared to advanced lead-acid batteries, the PbC batteries: Support higher [10-20x] charge acceptance and faster recharge [5-10x] in partial state-of-charge (PSOC) applications; Offer an 4x increase in cycle life in 100% depth-of-discharge applications; and. This limits the ability of battery to take on recharge. PbC battery.

ARPA-E awarding $60M to 23 projects; dry cooling and fusion power

Green Car Congress

ARA’s ACTIVE cooling technology will use a depolymerization thermochemical cycle to provide supplemental cooling and cool energy storage that can work as a standalone system or be synchronized with air-cooled units in order to cool below the ambient dry bulb temperature. Radiative Cooled-Cold Storage Modules and Systems (RadiCold).
