Eos Energy launches $500M Project AMAZE with $398.6M conditional loan guarantee from DOE; long-term zinc-based storage

Green Car Congress

Eos Z3 battery module Z3 battery modules store electrical energy through zinc deposition. The Eos Z3 battery contains predominately American components and is specifically designed for mass production and meeting low-cost, long-duration, grid-scale stationary energy storage needs. The project secured an up to $398.6-million

SEAT pushes forward with CNG line-up

Green Car Congress

As well as ecological and tax benefits, TGI technology offers exceptionally low costs per kilometer—up to 50% cheaper than a gasoline equivalent model and 30% cheaper than a diesel—and with the further improvements SEAT has made to the technology, now it can go even further before needing to be refueled.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. And even greater ranges can be expected soon. One PHEV company, Efficient Drivetrains Inc.,
