Energy savings approaching 90 percent expected from employing entirely post-consumer aluminum to make high-grade building components The circular economy just closed the loop on scrap aluminum, thanks to a new patent-pending technology developed at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. That twisted aluminum mesh, those banged up bicycle … [continued]
Wind energy is a proven solution for low-carbon renewable energy, and one which has a great EROI (energy return on investment), so we’re likely to see more and more wind turbines and wind farms sprouting up all over as the world attempts to transition to a more sustainable future. But … [continued]
Latest in Series of Journal Articles on Landfilled Materials Quantifies Problem, Details Opportunities Piles of cardboard and paper littering America’s landfills represent $4 billion in lost economic value, according to a new analysis by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). “That value is lost … [continued]
About three years ago, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers Robynne Murray, Nicholas Rorrer, and their team set out on a mission to make an easily recycled resin to serve as the central glue holding a wind turbine blade together. They began by formulating their resin in thimble-sized vials at the lab … [continued]
Lidar has also become a powerful tool for reclaiming lost histories and building the sustainable, circular economy of the future, too.
Lithium carbonate regenerated from recycled battery waste using a patented process developed by RecycLiCo has successfully been qualified by C4V’s Phase 1 Supply Chain Qualification program through testing in battery cells. In other words: C4V has confirmed that recycled lithium’s quality rivals that of “virgin” lithium. “As demand for lithium … [continued]
