DOE seeking feedback on findings of hydrogen production and delivery workshops

Green Car Congress

The purpose of the workshop was to share information and identify the RD&D needs to enable low-cost, effective delivery of hydrogen from centralized production facilities to the point of use (e.g., retail, light-duty vehicle stations and other applications). kg for forecourt (1,500 kg/day) and $2.00/kg Pre-commercial.

DOE seeking comment on draft $50M solicitation for new projects over 11 areas of interest to improve vehicle performance and decrease fuel consumption

Green Car Congress

Further, alloying or coating pathways towards low-cost, effective passive films, have not been sufficiently explored in a sound and scientific way. The objective of this AOI is to develop and demonstrate the capability of multi-material joining techniques for aluminum to advanced steel for light-duty vehicle body-in-white (BIW) joints.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

The task of balancing the grid and maintaining electrical frequency has grown dangerously the more reliant on wind power we have become – as demonstrated by the widespread power cuts of August 2019. The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades. Energy Solutions.

A Skeptic’s Take on Beaming Power to Earth from Space

Cars That Think

The accelerating buildout of solar farms on Earth is already hitting speed bumps, including public pushback against the large tracts of land required and a ballooning backlog of requests for new transmission lines and grid connections. In that respect, beamed power from space is like nuclear fusion, except at least 25 years behind.
