Using barium oxide nanoparticles, a team of researchers led by Georgia Tech has modified the surface of conventional anodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to enable operation at lower temperatures (750 °C) with carbon-containing gases—e.g., gasified coal—by eliminating the coking problem.

Photo: Openverse Renewables – solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydropower – are now 30% of total US electrical generating capacity, according to analysis of FERC’s mid-year data. That puts solar on track to become the US’s second-largest source of capacity – behind only natural gas – within three years. of capacity added.

The renewable energy mix – biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind – is now nearly 30% of total US electrical generating capacity.

Three megawatts each of new biomass and oil capacity plus 1 MW each of new hydropower and natural gas capacity made up the balance.

Current research and development efforts are advancing technologies that could provide step-change reductions in both cost and energy penalty compared to currently available technologies. In a typical DFC application, natural gas is combined with ambient air for the fuel cell power generation process. FuelCell Energy Inc.

Jesse Jenkins and his collaborators used the REPEAT energy model to project the greenhouse-gas reductions resulting from recent U.S. and “Is your electricity bill reasonably affordable?” Much of the data was made available, but some was redacted for various competitive concerns. You need a bigger grid to supply that electricity.

For the study, they define EVs as including both battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) vehicles. Only in the case of high EV market share and a high renewable electricity standard (RES) do EVs make a material contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, they found. Credit: ACS, Choi et al.
