Cornell study examines trade-off between critical metals requirement and transportation decarbonization

Green Car Congress

Higher EV penetration reduces GHG emissions from fuel use regardless of the transportation energy transition, while those from fuel production are more sensitive to energy-sector decarbonization and could reach nearly “net zero” by 2040. NMC/NCA scenario illustrates that the market share of NMC/NCA will increase to 100% by 2050.

Study sees gradual, focused replacement of lead-acid SLI batteries by Li-ion batteries over next couple of years

Green Car Congress

A study by a team of researchers from Germany and South Africa forsees the gradual replacement of lead-acid SLI (starter, lighting and ignition) batteries with Li-ion batteries over the next couple of years. That will see an uptake of more hybrid-, plug-in hybrids and BEVs in the EU.

Study recommends $10B/year US federal investment in energy RD&D and a substantial price on carbon emissions; leveraging the national labs and encouraging the private sector for a clean energy future

Green Car Congress

The remainder of the funding should go to other areas, including Basic Energy Sciences, the report by the team from the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs suggests. The largest percentage increases we recommend compared to 2009 funding levels are for energy storage, buildings, bioenergy, and solar photovoltaics.
