ORNL Gene Discovery Can Lead to More Cost-Competitive Cellulosic Ethanol; Process Demonstrates Approach for Accelerated Industrial Strain Development

Green Car Congress

More broadly, the researchers say, their study shows that the application of systems biology tools holds promise for rational industrial microbial strain development. Brown says this method of processing biomass for ethanol has the potential to become a “tool kit”—a combination of mutant genes that reduce the impact of specific inhibitors.

Study suggests lithium and cobalt for batteries may face supply risks by 2050

Green Car Congress

Analysis by researchers at the Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) suggests that, given the foreseen scaling of battery demand up to 2050, each may face supply risks, albeit for different reasons. Currently, the battery industry already accounts for 50% of the total demand for cobalt.
