IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

For this reason, a growing number of engineers have focused their attention on flow-battery technology. But until now, flow batteries have relied on chemicals that are expensive or hard to maintain, driving up the cost of storing energy. Commercialization. —Michael J.

UCSC team develops high-performance nanostructured composite catalyst for water-splitting to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

A low-cost, nanostructured composite material developed by researchers at UC Santa Cruz has shown performance comparable to Pt/C as a catalyst for the electrochemical splitting of water to produce hydrogen. An efficient, low-cost catalyst is essential for realizing the promise of hydrogen as a clean, environmentally friendly fuel.

Wildcat Discovery Technologies is building a US plant for LFP cathode and next-gen battery materials

Charged EVs

It offers similar performance, but manganese is very cheap, and it operates at a higher voltage, which enables a significant increase in energy density. Recently, Wildcat has shifted its strategy—the company will become a producer of cathode materials, while continuing its research and engineering activities. No nickel, no cobalt.

STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab spin-off seeking to develop and commercialize a novel solid-state hydrogen storage technology; transportation applications

Green Car Congress

The material could allow hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way for transport applications, the company says. The hydride beads would then pumped to a hot cell where waste heat from the engine exhaust is used to drive the hydrogen into a small buffer volume. Credit: ACS, Kurban et al. Click to enlarge.
