The Carbon Trust has created a consortium of British businesses led by Axion Energy, a division of the Axion Group , to pioneer the development of an advanced, commercially viable pyrolysis process to turn municipal and wood waste into transport biofuel. The Carbon Trust is investing £7 million (US$10.6 per liter—US$1.72

Specifically, low cost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. By 2020 our battery costs will be less than $100 a kilowatt-hour (kWh). Those inactive materials are expensive and wasteful. million grant from the US Department of Energy.

The grants will go to projects in 17 states. The team anticipates at least a twofold productivity improvement over current levels and a cost that can be competitive with gasoline. The critical barrier to wider deployment of electric vehicles is the high cost and low energy of today’s batteries.

The awarded grants will go to projects with lead researchers in 17 states. Waste Heat Capture (2 projects). Eagle Picher, in partnership with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, will develop a new generation of high energy, low cost planar liquid sodium beta batteries for grid scale electrical power storage applications.

The world’s needs are going up—from 246 million tonnes today to 400 million tonnes by 2040—but the supply could be drying out. Mining costs skyrocketed, rapidly inflating the element’s market price.

The EU-funded three-year NELLHI project has concluded after successfully developing a new stack design of solid oxide fuel cells, from an all-European supply chain. The second project, qSOFC, is automating NELLHI stack mass-manufacture to reduce costs down to 1000 €/kW at 10 MW/year production volumes.

This has led to improved biofuel productivity, higher economic returns, minimal waste production, and a lower carbon footprint. carbon fixation), such that the energy of the excess photons is wasted through non-photosynthetic processes. When they cannot be utilized efficiently they are wasted, normally through venting or flaring.

The potential is enormous because the current grid has sufficient energy capacity to supply every vehicle in the United States if every one of them was a PHEV. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. These can be supplied by our current energy distribution and dispensing network without changing the infrastructure.

Over the long term, capital adjustments can occur in the electricity supply technology and other production activities. Absent a price on emissions, advances in GHG-reducing technologies must rely on “piggybacking” off cost-reducing advances that also reduce GHGs. Developing New Technologies.
