Solar Ammonia In A Climate Crisis: Electrolysis Is No Barrier To Low-Cost Renewable Ammonia
Knowing that neither electrolyzer costs nor capacity factors will be an issue, we should judiciously apply hydrogen only in applications that truly need it.

By Miguel R.L. (aka Lambda), ETH Zürich engineer In part 1 of the ammonia vs biofuels discussion, we looked at the large-scale destruction that would ensue if we scaled biofuel production to satisfy global demand. But while we have established that biofuels lose out handily to PV in the area … [continued]

The Shanghai-based Lidar manufacturer Hesai has announced that it brought in more than $300 million in a Series D financing round. The round was led by GL Ventures, Meituan, Xiaomi, and CITICPE. Hesai has said that the new capital injection will be used to increase the volume production of its … [continued]
The big strides in electric cars happened years ago. Now, the improvements are measured in tiny advances as the EV revolution moves forward.
On a Zoom call with reporters this week, XPeng execs talked at length about some fresh semi-autonomous driving news and a bit about plans in the next couple of years. I asked whether they had a plan or rough expectation for when they think they can get to robotaxi-ready “Level … [continued]
Xpeng isn’t seeing blockbuster electric vehicle sales yet, but its first model just hit the market slightly more than two years ago and the company was formed approximately 7 years ago, so it would be hard to expect 100,000+ annual sales so quickly. That said, it has left the starting … [continued]
Electric buses, electric garbage trucks, and even electric construction equipment are becoming more and more commonplace in urban landscapes, but there’s still some debate over whether or not battery electric vehicles will take over open-road, long distance trucking any time soon. To help make the case that electric trucking is … [continued]
Another month, another highly opinionated and massively subjective list from yours truly, amirite? Hang on, though, because I think that this list is going to be a fun one.
