Energy storage can reduce peak power consumption from the electricity grid and therefore cost for fast-charging electric vehicles (EVs). It also enable EV charging in areas where limitations would otherwise preclude it. To address both need a infrastructure as well management of end-of-life batteries, second-life battery (SLB)-based energy is proposed systems. The grid-based configuration was compared to lithium-ion SLB-based configurations terms economic life cycle environmental impact five...
The U.S. government aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 reduce the severe impacts of climate change. industrial sector will become a focal point for decarbonization since it accounts 33% nation’s primary energy use and 30% its energy-related CO2 emissions. Industrial are also expected increase 15% through 2050, making logical target efforts. Energy efficiency technology pathways provide low-cost, foundational routes that can be implemented immediately. pathways, such as...
We face the grand challenge of a growing number end-of-life lithium-ion batteries over upcoming years. A recent Cell Reports Sustainability article presents model for effective battery management in China rural electrification. Here, we emphasize need incorporating various stakeholders early design phase to remove barriers reuse retired batteries. Electric vehicles (EVs) are one foremost methods decarbonize light-duty road transportation, which accounts ∼50% all transportation...
Low-carbon fuels, feedstocks, and energy sources can play a vital role in the decarbonization of clinker production cement manufacturing. Fuel switching with renewable natural gas, green hydrogen, biomass provide low-carbon source for high-temperature process heat during pyroprocessing steps production. However, up to 60% CO2 emissions from are attributable process-related emissions, which will need simultaneous implementation other technologies, such as carbon capture. To evaluate potential...
The US manufacturing sector faces critical challenges: improving sustainability, reducing energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. Energy Treasure Hunt (ETH) training, a service provided by the Department of Energy’s Better Plants program, offers compelling solution. Although ETHs have traditionally focused on cost savings, data indicate that can be used to identify opportunities reduce emissions water use support sustainable circular operation. These 3-day on-site events engage...
The economic and environmental performance of residential rooftop photovoltaics (PVs) with Second Life Batteries (SLBs) was evaluated in five US cities. annualized system cost global warming potential (GWP) SLB PV were compared those grid-connected PV. Adding SLBs provided reduction relative to the if excess electricity generated by is not sold back grid; otherwise, adding increased cost. combination had lowest GWP for all scenarios considered. Time-of-use pricing structure showed similar...
Bioenergy is one approach to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One promising bioenergy technology biomass gasification for conversion into renewable natural (RNG) use with a combined cycle (NGCC) power generation system. However, the associated economic and emission impacts need be better harmonized understood enable optimal decision-making avoid missed opportunities sustainability. This analysis explores 1) reduce GHG emissions of fossil (FNG) RNG 2) leverage extensive U.S....
