DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources. These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design.

DOE BETO to award $61.4M for low-carbon biofuels research to reduce transportation emissions

Green Car Congress

million for technologies that produce low-cost, low-carbon biofuels. ( BETO is focused on developing technologies that convert domestic biomass and other waste resources (e.g., per gallon gasoline equivalent (GGE) by 2030, as well as associated renewable chemical co-products to achieve this target.

Wärtsilä and partners developing emissions-free barge concept

Green Car Congress

These will be charged using energy from renewable sources. In this way, ZES charges only for the cost of consumed renewable energy plus a rental fee for the battery container, so the skipper’s operating costs remain competitive. The emphasis during the initial stage will be on converted and newly-built container carriers.
