Originally published by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Researchers: Madhu Sudhan Chinthavali, Group Leader, & Steven L Campbell, Rafal P Wojda, Clayton T Hickey Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers demonstrated their wireless charging technology on an autonomous electric vehicle for the first time in a project with Local Motors. The charging system developed at ORNL was installed … [continued]
Originally published by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Consumer buy-in is key to the future of a decarbonized transportation sector in which electric vehicles largely replace today’s conventionally fueled cars and trucks. Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have for several years now steadily advanced a wireless charging technology that can make … [continued]
2020 was a banner year for e-bikes, and 2021 is shaping up to be even better with launch after launch of desirable, electrified two-wheelers. Today, we’ll be looking at the latest e-bike entry from storied bike-builder LeMond. It’s called the Prolog, and it’s an ultralight, pedal-assist e-bike with some slick … [continued]
The US is going all-in on a plan to dominate the global PV market with next-gen perovskite solar cells that can beat fossil fuels to a pulp.
A new breakthrough in bio-based plastics aims a dagger at the heart of petrochemicals and fossil fuels, too
In 2016, the number of miles traveled by vehicle in the US increased 7-times over as compared to in 1950, despite the fact that the population has only increased 2-times over.
Originally published on Solar Love. As the saying goes, there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. You can’t generate usable energy without some form of impact, whether it’s fossil fuels or renewables, and the Volkswagen “clean diesel” scandal provides ample evidence that technology solutions for fossil fuels are … [continued]
Until now, the US hydropower fleet has never been fully documented, but a new report conducted by the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has filled this gap, providing industry and policy makers with a full run-down on the country’s hydropower capabilities. The first ever Hydropower Market Report … [continued]
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s microgrid project, the “Complete System-Level Efficient and Interoperable Solution for Microgrid Integrated Controls (CSEISMIC)” — which aims to (as the name implies) standardize the toolkit for managing and controlling an effective, reliable, and safe microgrid — is now two years in, and the fruits of the … [continued]
Originally published on ThinkProgress. By Kiley Kroh. While the news about climate change seems to get worse every day, the rapidly improving technology, declining costs, and increasing accessibility of clean energy is the true bright spot in the march toward a zero-carbon future. 2013 had more clean energy milestones than … [continued]
