Estonian startup UP Catalyst secures €2.09M; sustainable carbon nanomaterials and graphite from CO2

Green Car Congress

million in grant funding secured earlier this year. UP Catalyst uses a molten salt carbon capture and electrochemical transformation method to reprocess the CO 2. The entire process involves three steps: CO 2 dissolves in molten salt (capture); Electrochemical reactions take place on the cathode and anode; and.

UP Catalyst offering carbon-negative graphite for European battery supply chain

Green Car Congress

UP Catalyst uses a molten salt carbon capture and electrochemical transformation (MSCC-ET) method to reprocess CO 2 from heavy industry flue gases into carbon nanomaterials and graphite. The process is powered by either wind, solar or hydro energy resulting in a carbon negative production line.

This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape

Cars That Think

After Sorbom’s experiments—which became the basis for his doctoral thesis—confirmed that the YBCO tape could withstand the pummeling of fast neutrons squeezed from fusing atoms, a joint MIT/CFS team began the tricky process of acquiring the expensive, brittle HTS tape and winding it into coils.

Hydro-Québec and Technifin form partnership to license lithium titanate spinel oxide (LTO) technologies for Li-ion battery applications

Green Car Congress

A number of licences have recently been granted for patents within the IP pooled portfolio. It primarily exploits renewable generating options, in particular hydropower, and supports the development of wind energy through purchases from independent power producers. Its sole shareholder is the Québec government.
