Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. millimoles per gram at 1 bar), fast adsorption time (less than 1 minute), low price, and extraordinary stability to cycling by flue gas.

A cheap Toyota EV? Not right now, the company says

Baua Electric

Toyota has no current plans to launch a cheap EV despite demand building. Toyota says no small, cheap EV is in the works Although many automakers, including VW, Stellantis, and Kia, have revealed plans to launch low-cost EVs under $30,000 (£25,000), Toyota says not so fast. The post A cheap Toyota EV?

Mukkpet Tank review: How good is a super low-cost full-suspension fat tire e-bike?

Baua Electric

But it works, which is what cheap e-bike hunters are after. And you’re not going to get nicer features like UL-certified batteries on a bike like this, which is part of the equation going in with such a low-cost bike, but that’s a decision everyone has to make for themselves. And nothing here is. Then there’s the performance.

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

Green Car Congress

The design permits larger amounts of energy to be stored at lower cost than with traditional batteries. I think the chemistry we have right now might be the best that’s out there for stationary storage and quite possibly cheap enough to make it in the marketplace, but we have ideas that could lead to huge improvements.

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. It operates at high temperatures—above the temperature for spontaneous reaction from any fuel—to enable combustion without a flame.
