Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

With battery storage able to provide a unique role in balancing a renewable electricity grid, Toby Gill, CEO of Intelligent Power Generation, asks could innovations in green hydrogen and biofuel technologies contribute to a more optimized and economical energy mix? Our grid is changing, and so must the way we operate it.

Baker Institute report: China has positioned itself as a gatekeeper to the energy transition; nickel case study

Green Car Congress

Widely ignored, although gaining attention, is China’s strategic positioning as a crucial gatekeeper to several key “green” technologies, including battery energy storage to support electric vehicles (EVs)—specifically, battery electric vehicles (BEVs)—along with stationary storage for power grids.

The Vacuum Tube’s Forgotten Rival

Cars That Think

V-2 rockets it used to rain destruction on London. An old-fashioned triode vacuum tube does that using a voltage applied to its grid electrode. A second wire also wrapped around the core forms a control winding. After winding, the module was annealed in hydrogen at 1,100 °C for 2 hours and then rapidly cooled.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Grid stabilization, solar arrays, wind farms, and even home energy storage systems—some of those are coming offline and already going to their second set of batteries. The more collection we do, the better for the environment. One stat for you: something like 147 typical iPhone batteries yield enough cobalt for an entire EV.

Inside the Global Race to Tap Potent Offshore Wind

Cars That Think

One day soon, a platform 50 times as large may float in the deep waters of the North Sea, buoying up a massive wind turbine to harvest the steady, strong breezes there. About an hour’s ride up the coast, full-scale 3,000-tonne behemoths already float in Aberdeen Bay, capturing enough wind energy to electrify nearly 35,000 Scottish households.
