However, grid-scale freshwater electrolysis would put a heavy strain on vital water resources. The nickel foam acts as a conductor—transporting electricity from the power source—and the nickel-iron hydroxide sparks the electrolysis, separating water into oxygen and hydrogen.

On the order of 1 billion 40 kWh Li-based EV batteries could be built with the currently estimated reserve base of lithium, according to a recent study by researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley. only for grid-scale batteries? 90% for Li-ion couples).

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries. Under such a scenario, the production of Li-ion batteries should expand hugely over the years to come, hence reviving the issue of finite Li reserves.

The grid is getting cleaner each year , and will continue to do so as we replace fossil power plants with renewables, while a gasoline car gets dirtier as it ages. grid is only 49% coal (natural gas is 20%, nuclear is 20%, hydro is 7%, and other renewables are 2.4%). And 80% of your transportation fuel can be 100% green.

Area of Interest (AOI) 2: Grid Modernization for Electric Vehicles. The objective of AOI 2 is to research, develop, and demonstrate plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) technologies that enable efficient grid integration. This AOI will help promote the use of PEVs to reduce dependence on petroleum and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
