EPA’s newly released voluminous final Clean Power Plan rule ( earlier post ) has established the first national standards to limit CO 2 emissions from fossil-fuel-fired power plants (Electric Generating Units, EGUs), with a target of a 32% reduction against a 2005 baseline by 2030.

The companys plan is to electrochemically strip carbon dioxide out of the ocean, store or use the CO 2 , and then return the water to the sea, where it will naturally absorb more CO 2 from the air. This energy-intensive approach involves passing ambient air through chemical solvents or filters, and then storing or reusing the captured carbon.

The idea of using the energy stored in EV batteries for other purposes started with vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Instead of generating more power during peak times, utilities would purchase stored energy from EV owners and distribute it over the grid. New chemistries such as sodium-ion offer promise of incremental improvement.

Hybrid-electric vehicles have significantly reduced the time the engine is on, which inhibits the ability to purge fuel vapor stored in the carbon canister. The new system is expected to be in production vehicles by 2011. Supercharger Technologies.

A nearly threefold decrease of the stored kWh price to €200 per kWh at the pack level is predicted in the next 10 years, driven at least in part by both the large volume production and the realistic prospects of a second life for electric vehicle batteries. Note the trend in abundances of Al > Ca > Mg > Na > Li, and Fe > Mn > Ni > Co.

Just like we put food in the refrigerator, we can store it for days or weeks without eating it immediately or discarding it. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Storage devices can save energy in many forms (e.g., Batteries encompass a range of chemistries.

Monique closes her EV’s fueling port and heads onto the highway with enough stored energy to drive 640 kilometers (400 miles). The scientists found the nanofluids could be used in a system with an energy-storing potential approaching that of a lithium-ion battery and with the pumpable recharging of a flow battery.

However, as sustainability is central to the mission of the EV industry, we need to hold ourselves to much higher standards than those of past transportation technologies, and there’s a long way to go before we have a true circular supply chain for batteries. Developing and scaling more sustainable recycling methods is a high priority.

As per Altelium research , “a standard automotive cell could be at 80% SoH in its hard usage profile case after around four years, but it takes 15 years to get to the same state with easy usage.” This data should instill confidence in users regarding their vehicles’ range performance and battery life.
