By heather.lammers@nrel.gov (Heather Lammers) Solutions including electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, vehicle connectivity, and automation examined August 8, 2016 The White House wants to cut U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80 percent by 2050, but the goal raises questions about one of the greatest sources of those pollutants,…
By LED Corporations As once cited in LED Magazine as an industry leader for improving light levels throughout the streets of Manhattan, Anthony Florence has built his entire business around the very same principles, being the pioneer of his industry. A high energy, marketing expert, and goal-driven technology executive, Anthony…
By sdyhin 05 August 2016 The world’s largest battery storage ‘virtual power plant’ is set to land in South Australia, boosting grid stability, reducing power price volatility and supporting renewable energy. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has conditionally committed up to $5 million funding for AGL to install 1,000…
Scientists have developed an oxygen-assisted aluminum/carbon dioxide power cell that uses electrochemical reactions to both sequester the carbon dioxide and produce electricity. Read more here:: http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/matter_energy/fuel_cells/~3/Cj_L7t1JpDo/160804171642.htm
By By JAMES B. STEWART Focusing on the conflicts of interest in Tesla Motors’ proposed takeover of SolarCity misses the bigger picture, some investors say. Read more here:: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/05/business/everyone-despises-solarcity-deal-except-tesla-shareholders.html
Scientists have developed a working battery that self-destructs in water. It’s part of a field of study called ‘transient electronics.’ The battery project presented many challenges, including a complex structure and difficulties in fabrication.

Solar cells could move closer to theoretical levels of efficiency, thanks to new findings. Researchers used advanced microscopy techniques to discover efficiency differences of crystalline structures of various mixtures of cadmium, tellurium and selenium.

Researchers have created a new silicon-tin nanocomposite anode that could lead to lithium-ion batteries that can be charged and discharged more times before they reach the end of their useful lives. The longer-lasting batteries could be used in everything from handheld electronic devices to electric vehicles.
