ICL team assesses relative costs of carbon mitigation for 12 H2 production paths; trade-off between cost and level of decarbonization

Green Car Congress

A team at Imperial College London has examined the relative costs of carbon mitigation from a lifecycle perspective for 12 different hydrogen production techniques using fossil fuels, nuclear energy and renewable sources. Their results show a trade-off between the cost of mitigation and the proportion of decarbonization achieved.

S&P Global: looming shortfalls in copper supply will short-circuit net-zero goals absent significant new supply

Green Car Congress

The challenge of meeting Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 “will be short-circuited and remain out of reach” unless significant new copper supply comes online in a timely way, according to a new study by S&P Global that examines the growing mismatch between available copper supply and future demand resulting from the energy transition.

Stanford study quantifies energetic costs of grid-scale energy storage over time; current batteries the worst performers; the need to improve cycle life by 3-10x

Green Car Congress

Benson from Stanford University and Stanford’s Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) has quantified the energetic costs of 7 different grid-scale energy storage technologies over time. The data revealed that all five battery technologies have high embodied-energy costs compared with pumped hydroelectric storage. Click to enlarge.

BNEF: cost of new renewables rises as inflation starts to bite

Green Car Congress

The cost of new-build onshore wind has risen 7% year on year, and fixed-axis solar has jumped 14%, according to the latest analysis by research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). The global benchmark levelized cost of electricity, or LCOE, has retreated to where it was in 2019. The latter cost at $74 and $81 per MWh, respectively.

PNNL, OSU, Lanzatech improving efficiency and cost of ethanol-to-jet process

Green Car Congress

3D printing allows the research team to create a pleated honeycomb of mini-reactors that greatly increase the effective surface-area-to-volume ratio available for the reaction. Once the test reactor is completed, PNNL commercial partner LanzaTech will supply ethanol to feed the process. —OSU lead researcher Brian Paul.

IEA: governments must act to ensure sufficient supply of critical minerals to meet net-zero goals

Green Car Congress

Demand outlooks and supply vulnerabilities vary widely by mineral, but the energy sector’s overall needs for critical minerals could increase by as much as six times by 2040, depending on how rapidly governments act to reduce emissions. Ensure adequate investment in diversified sources of new supply. Source: IEA. Source: IEA.
