Lygos completes first pilot-scale production of malonic acid from renewable resources at Berkeley Lab’s ABPDU

Green Car Congress

The petrochemical process to produce malonic acid requires chloroacetic acid and sodium cyanide, and is both costly and environmentally hazardous. While that characteristic offers a benefit by mitigating the risk of microbial contamination at industrial-scale production, it also poses a challenge for the microbial producer. coli and S.

UCSD researchers improve method to recycle and renew used cathodes from Li-ion batteries via eutectic molten salts

Green Car Congress

The team is tuning this process so that it can be used to recycle any type of cathode materials used in lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. The research is part of a larger effort under DOE’s first lithium-ion battery recycling R&D center, called the ReCell Center. The team has filed a provisional patent on this work.
