EnerG2 develops new carbon adsorbent material for on-board natural gas storage

Green Car Congress

EnerG2 , a manufacturer of advanced carbon materials for next-generation energy storage (generally for batteries and ultracapacitors), has leveraged its polymer chemistry technologies to develop materials for adsorbed natural gas (ANG) applications. Low-pressure compressors are a fraction of the cost of high compression systems.

NGen Canada awarding $76M to 15 zero-emission vehicle projects

Green Car Congress

The consortium will showcase these systems at both Damon and Moment Energy’s new facilities in Vancouver BC, demonstrating manufacturing scale-up of components, assembly systems and targeting design for a near zero waste production operation. However, the cost of producing MEAs is high and the durability is often poor.

Acetate from chitin as an economically viable source for bioethanol

Green Car Congress

Both current methods of producing bioethanol, reducing carbon dioxide or the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose or lignocellulose, are onerous. Many works consider that obtaining ethanol from acetate would be excessively onerous due to the cost of separating acetate present in wastewaters. through a bioelectrochemical reduction.

DOE issues $10M incubator FOA for batteries, power electronics, engines, materials, fuels and lubricants

Green Car Congress

As described in multiple DOE reports, the main barriers to widespread PEV commercialization are the cost; performance and life; and abuse tolerance of high?energy Specifically: the current cost of high?energy competitive waste heat recovery technologies. based systems for waste?heat Carbon Fiber or Lightweight Materials.

DOE awards up to $10M to 6 projects for non-food biomass and algal biofuels and biochemicals

Green Car Congress

This uses carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), water, and light as the main inputs, and does not waste carbon and energy by limiting the amount of biomass produced. A successful outcome is a cost-effective process to a high-value biochemical that instead of producing carbon, incorporates it into the aspartic acid, and sequesters CO 2.
