Researchers demonstrate electrochemical synthesis of ammonia from air and water under mild conditions

Green Car Congress

Andrews have demonstrated that ammonia can be synthesized directly from air (instead of N 2 ) and H 2 O (instead of H 2 ) under a mild condition (room temperature, one atmosphere) with supplied electricity which can be obtained from renewable resources such as solar, wind or marine. tons of CO 2 is released per ton of ammonia produced.

Indonesia’s massive metals build-out is felling the forest for batteries – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Where trees once grew, there are dusty warehouses, mountains of black coal and water that runs silty brown. Fiery smelters and multiple coal-fired power plants burn nonstop to refine nickel ore into material for batteries and steel. Indonesia aims to dominate the world’s nickel supply, and it’s succeeding.

DOE to award up to $15M for projects to improve reliability of solid oxide fuel cells

Green Car Congress

The DOE Office of Fossil Energy’s (FE) Clean Coal Research Program (CCRP) is pursuing research, development and demonstration (RD&D) to decrease the cost of electricity (COE) and capture costs and increase base power plant efficiency, thereby reducing the amount of CO 2 that has to be captured and stored per unit of electricity generated.

Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Some types of lithium mining require a lot of water and energy and have led to local pollution, such as in South America’s alpine lakes. To ensure reliable energy supplies, grids dominated by renewables need “firming” capacity: back-up technology that can supply electricity on demand.

Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

This sponsored article is brought to you by COMSOL. When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. Eronen and Ylönen recognized the benefits of water-based heat storage as well as its limitations.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years. Almost all hydrogen produced today is designated as brown, black, or gray, meaning it was generated by burning natural gas or coal. The process emits about 10 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of hydrogen.
