DOE announces $11.5M in Phase 1 funding for carbon capture and storage program; ARPA-E FLECCS

Green Car Congress

FLECCS project teams will work to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) processes that better enable technologies, such as natural gas power generators, to be responsive to grid conditions in a high variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration environment. Phase 1 FLECCS projects are: GE Global Research. 8 Rivers Capital.

A Driver-Centric Approach Is Essential to Broad Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Adoption

Driivz

The 2020 International Energy Agency’s Global EV Outlook projects that by 2030, the share of electricity going towards EV charging could rise to as high as 4–10% at peak demand. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. EV owners don’t view their cars as devices that store energy for someone else’s use.

EPRI-NRDC report finds widespread vehicle electrification and a cleaner grid could lead to substantial cuts in GHG by 2050

Green Car Congress

Use of electric vehicles would achieve greater reductions in GHG emissions, corresponding to the rate that the electric grid becomes cleaner, through greater reliance on renewables and low- and non-emitting generation. This research points to the importance of two fundamental and parallel trends in energy and the environment.

Role of Batteries in Clean Energy Transitions – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Herein lies the critical role of batteries: they serve as a bridge between energy production and consumption, storing excess energy during peak production periods and releasing it when needed to ensure a stable and reliable energy supply. The concept of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.,

The Greening of Transportation

Cars That Think

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) in cars and vans accounted for almost half of all carbon dioxide emissions attributable to the transportation sector in 2022, according to Statista. Influit’s battery circulates an energy-dense nanoelectrofuel to store 15 to 25 times as much energy as a similarly sized conventional flow battery.
