IperionX to produce 100% recycled, low-carbon titanium components for Ford Performance

Green Car Congress

IperionX Limited has agreed a Scope of Work (SoW) for the supply of titanium metal components for Ford Motor Company using IperionX’s 100% recycled, low-carbon titanium metal. The insights gained from this SoW will guide the final design, and unit costs, for a range of low-carbon titanium components for Ford Performance production vehicles.

Dominion Energy & Duke Energy cancel $8B Atlantic Coast Pipeline due to delays and cost uncertainty

Green Car Congress

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline as planned was a 600-mile underground natural gas transmission line meant to deliver new, lower-cost supplies of natural gas to public utilities in Virginia and North Carolina. For example, a productive tree-felling season this winter is a key milestone to maintaining the project’s cost and schedule.

WVU opens new research facility to extract valuable rare earth elements from acid mine drainage

Green Car Congress

West Virginia University (WVU) researchers are opening a new facility to capture rare earth elements (REEs) from acid mine drainage (AMD) from coal mining. China has been able to provide a low-cost supply of rare earths using these methods, and therefore, dominates the global market. Conceptual Process Flowsheet.
