The GenCell FOX is a low-temperature alkaline fuel cell which generates power from liquid ammonia – one of the most effective and energy-dense carbon-free hydrogen carriers – with only water, nitrogen and heat. The solution has been designed to comply with strict zero-emission sustainability objectives, ensure resilient 24/7 continuous power even in harsh weather conditions, and minimise operating expenses through its use of economical and widely available liquid ammonia fuel. Alkaline fuel cell technology can help operators implement renewable power solutions directly at mobile sites, even when they are located in remote locations and the toughest climate conditions. https://israeltr
Roughly the size of a fridge, just as stylish, the household water recycling system is expected to save between 35-45% of average household water use while also reducing energy consumption, carbon footprint & water bills. Sydney Water is trialling it in 30 homes across Sydney.https://utilitymagazine.com.au/sydney-water-pilots-award-winning-water-recycling-system
Retrofitting existing diesel trucks for electrification is a costly exercise. New Aussie start-up has an approach which reportedly enables 4 minute battery swap-outs, is interchangeable with any battery tech, can last 400 - 600 kms, be installed for roughly the same cost as rebuilding/upgrading the existing diesel engine but delivers a 60% reduction in operating costs.https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/entrepreneur-big-trucks-big-savings-big-electric-plans-20220811-p5b91o.html
"Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes is targeting electric vehicles and the electrification of Australia’s homes as the first charitable projects backed by their $1.5 billion green fund.Eytan Lenko, the CEO of the fund’s not-for-profit arm Boundless, said the fund had quietly helped organise next Friday’s National EV Summit in Canberra, to be opened by Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen."...https://www.afr.com/technology/revealed-how-mike-cannon-brookes-is-spending-his-1-5b-green-fund-20220812-p5b9d2
Under development since 2017, this liquid metal battery (LMB) is about to be let loose on the globe. Consisting of 3 liquid layers; 2 of molten metals and a middle layer of molten salts. The system is self-heating and insulated, but contains no combustible materials - so they can't burn. And they retain all of their charge capacity for at least 5000 cycles (think decades, not years). Modular, safer and cheaper than lithium-ion batteries. https://ambri.com/technology/
