Hyundai is going all in on hydrogen, and relying on food waste to make that happen

Baua Electric

But now it says it will rely heavily on hydrogen fuel cells generated from plastic, food, and organic waste to power a whole new generation of EVs, from passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks. The South Korean automaker is among a small group of companies embracing hydrogen fuel cell technology, with GM, Toyota, and Honda among them.

Tin nanopillars layered between graphene sheets as high-performance anode materials for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers with the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have embedded arrays of tin (Sn) nanopillars between graphene sheets without adding any polymer binder and carbon black for as-formed use as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

ARPA-E to award up to $30M for intermediate-temperature fuel cell systems for distributed generation; exploring storage and power-to-fuels

Green Car Congress

Excess electricity generated by the renewable resource could be used to electrochemically convert gaseous fuel such as methane to a liquid chemical to be stored in bulk. The final performance metrics must be met with the use of a non-hydrogen gas or liquid fuel. ITFCs with in-situ charge storage for dynamic response.

This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions.
