ANN ARBOR — Ann Arbor officials have identified a funding solution to build the eco-friendly fire station of the future they’ve been talking about for years. City Council voted 10-0 Tuesday, Jan. 21, to approve a notice of intent to issue $12 million in capital improvement bonds to finance some or all of the costs
LANSING - The Michigan Public Service Commission announced today it has posted a request for proposals (RFP) for a renewable energy and electrification infrastructure enhancement and development grant program. The RFP is for $4.875 million in Renewable Energy and Electrification Infrastructure Enhancement and Development grants. The RFP meets the requirements of Public Act 121 of
HONG KONG - A breakthrough in stainless steel technology could revolutionize green hydrogen production, paving the way for a more sustainable global energy transition. Researchers at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), led by Professor Mingxin Huang, have developed an innovative material called stainless steel for hydrogen (SS-H2). This new technology addresses two key challenges in water
GERMANY - While electric vehicles have dominated the conversation around sustainable transportation, hydrogen-powered vehicles are still holding their ground, offering unique benefits that could play a key role in the future of mobility. Hydrogen vehicles use fuel cells to convert hydrogen gas into electricity, producing only water vapor as a byproduct, making them a clean and
ChargePoint has had enough of vandalizing thieves who saw through EV charger cables to steal valuable copper — so now it’s making new “cut-resistant” cables and adding alarm systems in an attempt to mitigate the damage. ChargePoint’s VP of product management Steve Farrell tells The Verge the cable uses a patent-pending technology that includes strategically placed steel
DETROIT — While President Donald Trump took aim at the electric vehicle industry this week, there is still optimism about the industry’s future in Michigan, a state retooling from America’s most recognizable auto hub to its number one destination for electric vehicle investment. More than $27 billion is being poured into some 60 EV manufacturing and
WASHINGTON DC - Hydrogen-powered trucks are making waves in the world of clean transportation, and the H2Rescue truck just set a new Guinness World Record to prove it. This impressive vehicle, developed by Cummins Accelera in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense, traveled an astounding 1,806 miles on a single tank of
DETROIT - The problems such as climate change, the exhaustion of conventional energy resources, and the need for infrastructure development in the modern world are forcing humanity to look for radical energy, sustainability, and construction solutions. One radical idea has been proposed: to put 52 billion solar panels on highways. This big plan to change
DETROIT - An alarming map has shown several coastal US cities that are predicted to be underwater due to rising sea levels by 2100 if global temperatures continue to increase. The interactive mapping tool by research group Climate Central reveals how different warming scenarios will affect sea level rise in the coming decades. It projects that if global
SOUTH KOREA - Researchers from the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea have unlocked a new technique to dramatically increase efficiency in next-generation perovskite solar panels. For years, perovskite has been a promising technology that could offer solar panels a massive leap in efficiency. The solar panels we see today are built with silicon. Perovskite is a
