LeMond Carbon obtains independent verification of its carbon fiber rapid oxidation technology

Green Car Congress

LeMond and Deakin University are teamed to commercialize this innovative technology which enables reductions of 75% and 70% in capex and energy consumption per kilo of output respectively. The rapid oxidation process enables LeMond to produce carbon fiber with the lowest embodied energy of any standard PAN-based carbon fiber available today.

Stanford scientists identify new Li-B-S solid electrolyte materials that boost lithium-ion battery performance

Green Car Congress

Stanford University scientists have identified a new solid-state Li-ion electrolyte predicted to exhibit simultaneously fast ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical stability, low cost, and low mass density. Solid electrolytes, on the other hand, rarely catch fire and are potentially more efficient.

Rechargeable membrane-less hydrogen bromine flow battery shows high power density

Green Car Congress

That is about three times as much power per square centimeter as other membrane-less system—a power density that is an order of magnitude higher than that of many lithium-ion batteries and other commercial and experimental energy-storage systems. A paper on the work is published in Nature Communications.

Report finds says “negative emissions technologies” need to play a large role in mitigating climate change

Green Car Congress

The committee concluded that the NETs available today could be safely scaled up to capture and store a significant fraction of the total emissions both in the US and globally, but not enough to keep total global warming below two degrees Celsius, the target of the Paris agreement. However, it is currently limited by high cost.
