The system is set up like a typical microbial fuel cell, a bacterial battery that uses electrochemically active bacteria as a catalyst where a traditional fuel cell would use platinum. In this type of system, the bacteria are attached to the electrode. When wastewater is pumped into the anode, the bacteria "eat" the organic materials and release electrons, creating electricity.

When it comes to batteries, lithium-ion are the best we have as far as energy density and convenience. For now. Researchers have developed a stable sodium ion battery that is highly efficient, will be less expensive to make and is significantly smaller than a traditional lithium ion battery due to the elimination of a once-necessary feature.

For many people looking at the hydrogen concept it might appear a crazy idea which might never happen, or the promising El Dorado which will solve most of the problems linked to pollution. The reality is in the middle.

The 36 MW solar farm and a 7.5 MW battery-energy storage system will tangibly reduce CO2 emissions of existing diesel power station.

Why should people buy a hydrogen car, if they will barely opt for an electric one?

Ballard Power Systems announced the formation of a strategic alliance for the co-development and sale of fuel cell powertrains and components for class 1 and 2 vehicles, weighing up to 5-tons, initially in North America and Europe.

The BMW Group is launching production of battery components at its plants in Leipzig and Regensburg and expanding its e-drive production network. It has been less than a year since the decision was made to expand production capacity for e-drives in Germany.

Edelaysen's grid is served by run-of-river hydropower that varies daily and seasonally. This resource requires the company to operate supplemental diesel generators throughout the year to compensate when customer demand exceeds hydro output. With Chile implementing cleaner forms of generation and aiming to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions across the country, a sustainable alternative to continuous diesel dependence in their operating area was essential.

Brisbane-based Graphene Manufacturing Group will manufacture battery prototypes for watches, phones, laptops, electric vehicles and grid storage under a research agreement with scientists from UQ's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology.

Patents can provide useful insight into innovation trends within a certain technology area, with a patent landscape providing information on the following as somewhat of proxy for innovation and activity in a market. This article analyzes the Li-ion cathode patent landscape.

Hybrid electric new aircraft are rare and programs to develop them promise up to three times the range of today's battery aircraft. However, many battery aircraft developers promise to match the launches of hybrid aircraft of various sizes with battery electric ones of similar range on the day.

InoBat Auto has today announced a landmark agreement with SOR, one of the largest producers of city and intercity-buses in Central Europe, with the intention to design, develop and supply batteries for a new urban, intercity and long-distance electric bus fleet.

Aggreko has delivered a smart battery storage system to Argonne National Laboratory. The solution will expand high power charging for electric vehicles at the organisation's Smart Energy Plaza near Chicago, Illinois, USA.

CO2-derived fuels could play an important role in hard-to-decarbonize industries, such as aviation and shipping, where battery technology faces major technical challenges.

This premium article gives an overview of the current state of the Li-ion recycling market.

The global aviation sector, estimated to account for around 2 to 3 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, is under increasing pressure to decarbonize, but faces significant financial headwinds in the immediate term from the devastation wrought by COVID-19.

There are significant research efforts aiming to boost the effectiveness of CO2 capturing technology and facilitate deployment of what could be a vital technology in the fight against climate change.

Honda has announced key targets for sales of electrified vehicles in North America, with a plan to make battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles to represent 100% of its vehicle sales by 2040, progressing from sales of 40% by 2030 and 80% by 2035.

The solution at Essity has been developed through a collaboration between Volvo Cars, Essity, Stena Fastigheter and BatteryLoop, a company within Stena Recycling that is a leader in the reuse and recycling of batteries, primarily from the automotive industry.
