Phinergy’s Recycled Aluminum-Air Battery Could Power Future EVs
Aluminum-Air batteries [AlO2] are nothing new, but a recent innovation by Phinergy, as well as compelling test data, could solve electric vehicle range concerns. We all know the arguments against electric vehicles, “Unless you spend $100,000, you can’t get any decent range out of an electric vehicle,” or “Electric vehicles take too long to charge.” A [...]

Urban pollution caused by nitrogen oxides can now be predicted for specific locations at particular hours, thanks to recent study done by scientists at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). The researchers developed a geostatistical method that takes into account the space-time factor, something that had not been considered before. The method, called functional krigging, [...] Read more... | A new refrigerant developed by Honeywell and Dupont, HFO-1234yf, will be required by law to replace R-134a, but Volkswagen is rejecting this and developing its own carbon dioxide air conditioning system. The new refrigerant, HFO-1234yf, is supposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by something like 99.7%. In spite of a new law in the EU [...] Read more... |
Green walls have been acknowledged as one of the most effective ways to cut down city air pollution, improve building’s energy efficiency, reduce noise and at the same time give a warm green feel to the usually colorless city architecture. Imagine walking on the streets of a major city like Paris, battling your way through [...] Read more... | In recent times when electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S have become so popular, no of these electric vehicles have focussed on offering anything like Formula One performance. But that is all set to change with California-based Epic EV’s TORQ Roadster offering just that. Featuring a 400 horsepower electric engine [...] Read more... |
The latest technology by the giant Panasonic, a “thermoelectric tube,” is being tested at their Northeastern Clean Center in Kyoto City for its power generating capabilities. The tube can produce electricity from hot water by creating temperature differences between the different thermoelectric materials with low and high thermal conductivity. The company claims that a termoelectric [...] Read more... | When power plants burn coal, wood or even refuse to generate electricity, the leftover ash generates hydrogen gas, which is why it must be stored outside. Leftover ash from power production often finds its way to landfills or, in some countries, as a construction material. It can’t be stored inside though, because the leftover ash [...] Read more... |
According to a study conducted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service, the burning of biomass in the form of switchgrass, instead of oil, could cut down energy costs of companies and homes. The study shows that this is particularly true for regions such as the Northeast, where the price of oil as well as the [...] Read more... | With the development of nanotechnology, researchers using nanowires in solar cells are finding that solar cell efficiency limits may be higher than they previously thought possible. Current commercial silicon-based solar cell efficiency is less than 15%, which means that more than 85% of the sun’s energy is lost to heat and reflection. Modern theory places [...] Read more... |
The National Carbon Offset Standard of Australia (NCOS) certified the city of Melbourne as the latest carbon-neutral metropolis in the country. Although this is already a remarkable achievement, the city officials are not planning to stop there. They have identified a number of key areas where further emission reductions can take place, as part of [...] Read more... | With the adoption of increasingly strict emissions laws, automakers are turning to electrified vehicles to push emissions down and increase fuel efficiency. According to the recent Corporate Average Fuel Economy [CAFE] laws passed in November, automakers will have to be producing vehicles that emit no more than 163g/mi of carbon dioxide. If this were to [...] Read more... |
In an effort to educate consumers to curb emissions and the benefits of cleaner transportation, the Toronto nonprofit, Summerhill Group, is giving away free gas cards and other prizes. Learning how to commute more efficiently doesn’t have to be painful and from last week until the first week of May, you can actually win free [...] Read more... | As part of their recent aim to become the ‘greenest’ city in the US, Washington DC has signed a new contract requiring that all government agencies be 100% powered by wind energy. The deal, signed between DC’s Department of General Services (DGS) and Washington Gas Energy Services (WGES) who are based in Herndon, would initially [...] Read more... |
