Georgia Tech study suggests unlinking EVs from CAFE and coordinating with power sector for low-cost benefits

Green Car Congress

A negative value means the case has a lower TCE than the reference case. However, managed EV adoption can reduce the cost of achieving GHG reductions through a RES, they concluded in their paper published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. respectively relative to the reference case with no EVs.

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

Green Car Congress

AQDSH 2 refers to the reduced form of AQDS. Wide-scale utilization of flow batteries is, however, limited by the abundance and cost of these materials, particularly those using redox-active metals and precious-metal electrocatalysts. Cell schematic. Discharge mode is shown; the arrows are reversed for electrolytic/charge mode.

Ford Bronco Sport first to feature parts made of 100% recycled ocean plastic

Green Car Congress

Wiring harness clips in Ford Bronco Sport models are made of ocean-harvested plastic—commonly referred to as “ghost gear.”. The strength and durability of the nylon material equals that of previously used petroleum-based parts but with a 10% cost savings and requiring less energy to produce.

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

In the figure "ton" refers to metric tonne and CNT, carbon nanotube. The C2CNT production is achieved at a fraction of the current cost of manufacturing nanotubes and results in a cost of carbon savings in the materials production significantly below the current cost of carbon mitigation.

BNEF report finds hydrogen promising decarbonization pathway, but carbon prices and emissions policies required

Green Car Congress

The falling cost of making hydrogen from wind and solar power offers a promising route to cutting emissions in some of the most fossil-fuel-dependent sectors of the economy, such as steel, heavy-duty vehicles, shipping and cement, according to a new report from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Abatement cost with hydrogen at $1/kg (7.4/MMBtu).

BMW Group, Airbus and Quantinuum present classical/quantum computation study of the ORR in fuel cells

Green Car Congress

Moreover, the catalytic species may exhibit strong electronic correlations, which cannot be rigorously and accurately described with low-cost methods such as Density Functional Theory (DFT). Qunatinuum System Model H1 refers to a generation of quantum computing hardware using ion traps with a single linear geometry.

MITEI releases report on 3-year study of future mobility; technological innovation, policies, and behavioral changes all needed; “car pride” an issue

Green Car Congress

In all scenarios, they used an enhanced version of the MIT Economic Projection and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model to explore changes in LDV fleet composition, fuel consumption, electricity production, CO 2 emissions, and macroeconomic impacts (including the cost of avoided CO 2 emissions). —William H.
