This document summarizes the key points from a EURELECTRIC paper on smart charging of electric vehicles. It discusses three main points: 1) Increasing electric vehicle adoption could strain electricity distribution grids if uncoordinated charging occurs. 2) Smart charging, which coordinates charging times, can avoid grid issues and costs while benefiting customers and power systems. 3) Smart charging supports the integration of renewable energy and provides sustainability benefits to society. The paper provides industry examples of smart charging and makes seven recommendations for policymakers to enable an effective rollout across Europe.
Piedmont Lithium Limited (Nasdaq: PLL) holds a 100% interest in the Piedmont Lithium Project (“Project”) located within the world-class Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt (“TSB”) and along trend to the Hallman Beam and Kings Mountain mines, historically providing most of the western world’s lithium between the 1950s and the 1980s. The TSB has been described as one of the largest lithium provinces in the world and is located approximately 25 miles west of Charlotte, North Carolina. It is a premier location for development of an integrated lithium business based on its favorable geology, proven metallurgy and easy access to infrastructure, power, R&D centers for lithium and battery storage, major high-tech population centers and downstream lithium processing facilities. Compared to Australian- and Canadian-based projects, North Carolina offers a significantly lower-cost operating environment (labor, power/gas/diesel, transport), which is further boosted by the absence of government royalties and a low tax rate environment. Lithium is on the US Government’s Critical Minerals list, giving the project significant strategic value as being the only conventional US lithium development project.

This thesis focuses on the catalytic production of diesel from biomass, emphasizing the conversion of waste vegetable oils and fats. Two established methods are transesterification/esterification of oils and fats with methanol to produce fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), and hydrodeoxygenation of oils and fats to produce straight-chain alkanes. Other potential routes include upgrading and deoxygenation of pyrolysis oils or sludge, aqueous reforming of sugars, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of alkanes from gasified biomass. The thesis tests various acidic catalysts for esterification in a model fat mixture and develops a sulphonated pyrolysed sucrose catalyst. Organic bases
Europe could improve its growth prospects and create 500,000 to 1.1 million net additional jobs in 2030 through auto sector innovation. Increased technology to cut fuel consumption would allow the EU to reduce its dependence on foreign oil and deliver between €58 and €83 billion a year in fuel savings for the EU economy by 2030. This shift will achieve the double bonus of mitigating climate change and creating a much-needed economic stimulus.
Key findings:
• Jobs are created by increased spending on vehicle technology, but more importantly by a shift in spending away from imported fossil fuels and back towards other areas of the European economy.
• In scenarios in which the Internal Combustion Engine is either optimized or hybridized, the yearly cost of running and replacing the EU car and van fleet is reduced by €36 billion and EU-wide employment increases by 500,000 to 660,000 in 2030. This takes account of jobs lost in the transition, such as in refining.
• In scenarios in which Europe moves rapidly to a fleet of advanced hybrid, battery-electric and fuel-cell vehicles, EU-wide employment increases by 850,000 to 1.1 million in 2030. By 2050, jobs increase by 1.9 million to 2.3 million in all low-carbon scenarios examined.
• The fuel bill for Europe’s car and van fleet is reduced by €58 – 83 billion in 2030 by a shift to low-carbon vehicles, and by €115 – 180 billion in 2050. (excluding taxes and duties)
• While jobs are created and spending on oil imports is reduced in all low-carbon scenarios, CO2 is also cut by between 64 per cent and 97 per cent in 2050. Air quality is significantly improved, with emissions of health-damaging particulates down by 73 – 95 per cent by 2050.
• Demand is reduced for a small fraction of auto sector professions, and some skill shortages also emerge during the transition. The pace of change is likely to allow time for the development of the relevant new skills in Europe, if industry, governments and academic institutions start planning now

UTILISING CAPTURED CO₂ TO PRODUCE RENEWABLE METHANEiQHub
Electrochaea has developed a 2-step system to convert carbon dioxide and renewable hydrogen into methane using proprietary archaea biocatalysts. The system is scalable and can utilize various carbon dioxide sources like industrial emissions or landfill gas. The archaea convert every molecule of carbon dioxide into methane without using fossil fuels. Electrochaea has successfully piloted the technology at scales up to 50 Nm3/h and is working to further commercialize the system to provide renewable energy storage and carbon reuse through methane injection into gas pipelines. A 100 MWe plant could mitigate emissions equivalent to 5.9 million trees annually and power the equivalent of 4,000 natural gas vehicles.

CCC is developing a process to sequester CO2 from flue gases by converting it to magnesium carbonates using magnesium hydroxide produced from serpentine and olivine minerals. The process involves two steps: (1) an alkaline digestion that converts minerals like serpentine and olivine to magnesium hydroxide and silica, and (2) direct wet scrubbing to react the magnesium hydroxide with low-pressure CO2 to form soluble magnesium bicarbonate or solid magnesium carbonate. This process could sequester CO2 on a gigatonne scale at a low energy cost while also producing valuable byproducts from the minerals.
1) The document discusses a process called CPD that converts refuse-derived fuel (RDF) into diesel fuel through thermal decomposition and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
2) The CPD process offers benefits like increased energy storage and usability of the fuel produced, as well as reducing emissions compared to other waste disposal methods.
3) Testing has shown the fuel produced from RDF using the CPD process can be used successfully in diesel engines without issues.

Green Buildings and the Environment or how to Behave SustainableUNDP Eurasia
The document discusses green buildings and sustainable construction. It defines green buildings as those that use resources like energy, water, and materials more efficiently to reduce environmental impact over the building's lifecycle. It notes the growing global trend toward green buildings driven by energy crises, public pressure, and corporate social responsibility. Examples highlighted include the Empire State Building retrofit that achieved major energy savings, Spar supermarkets in Austria certified at high DGNB levels, and the EcoPoint office building in Kosice, Slovakia pursuing DGNB Silver certification. The document promotes green building certification systems for objective assessment and raising overall construction quality.
The Cebra and Platirus projects aim to develop more sustainable solutions for platinum group metals (PGMs) in automotive catalysts. PGMs are critical raw materials where Europe relies heavily on imports. Both projects seek to commercialize innovative technologies for recovering PGMs from spent autocatalysts at an industrial scale. Cebra will create a new catalyst containing partially substituted and fully recycled PGMs, closing the loop. Platirus focuses on developing a cost-efficient PGM recovery process using ionometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. The projects synergize by applying Platirus' recovery technology at an advanced readiness level to produce materials for Cebra's new catalyst, integrating circular economy principles for PGMs.
The document discusses hydrogen as a promising alternative energy source. Hydrogen is the most abundant element, can be extracted from water via electrolysis, and produces only water when burned. It has various applications as a fuel for vehicles, power generation through fuel cells, and more. The company HyEnergy is involved in research and manufacturing of technologies related to hydrogen production, storage, and use as a clean energy source.

Widespread infectious disease, air and water pollution, energy poverty, and high unemployment are growing problems in many developing nations. These have become delicate issues for humanitarian organizations like the UN, OECD, WHO, and World Bank. Most of these developing countries have been struggling to meet the Millennium Development Goals. However, many of these problems can be linked together and solved with a new class of waste-to-energy (W2E) systems. Waste has become an uncontrollable problem in many developing countries and in Latin America. Nearly 100 percent of waste in low-income countries goes to landfills. However, a W2E system can reduce waste and generate electricity at the same time. The actual gasification and pyrolysis technologies used in waste to energy conversion are nothing new as it was widely used in Europe during WWII, but now several companies are packing the system in a convenient shipping container size. This means it can be deployed throughout the world quickly and efficiently, over both land and sea. These new W2E systems obviate the technological barriers to building a W2E facility in a developing country. And, the system can significantly improve both rural and urban communities in the following ways: 1. Improve health and sanitation The W2E systems use almost any organic waste as the fuel. This includes paper, plastics, used tires, spoiled food, and dry manure. Thus, it cuts down on the size of landfills and there is an incentive to collect waste together rather than littering along the roads. By cleaning up the streets and reducing landfill sizes, you have also eliminated the breeding grounds for many infectious diseases. Agricultural by-products such as saw mill waste, nut shells, sugar and rice bagasse, corn stoves, cassava peels, and sorghum. Many of these potential fuels are currently either left to rot or are disposed of by burning in the field, emitting dangerous plumes of greenhouse gasses and pollutants. 2. Improve local economy The W2E system does not require in depth technical knowledge to operate, but it still needs a workforce to maintain it. It will also create jobs for waste collection and sorting. . And, not only does the system create jobs, it creates sources of revenue for the entire community. The electricity can be sold; and depending on the W2E technology and feedstock, the end byproduct can be sold as well. In many cases the W2E system will displace a diesel powered generator, and even in an oil producing nation such as Nigeria, the return on investment can be 12 months or less based solely on fuel savings. 3. Increase productivity and raise living standards The W2E system will be able to provide rural communities with electricity and or heat. Electricity can extend working hours and productivity. Access to electricity has been closely linked to higher levels of education, lower levels of poverty, and reduced gender inequality in developing nations.
The world is facing a pressing need to find sustainable energy solutions, and one promising tool in the fight to cut carbon emissions and switch to cleaner energy sources is hydrogen technology. Being a flexible and plentiful element, hydrogen has the power to completely transform a range of industries, including transportation and manufacturing. This essay will examine the condition of hydrogen technology solutions today and how they can help us move toward a more sustainable future.

Webinaire | WhatsUpp in... France, regarding energy communities ? - 14 mars 2024Cluster TWEED
Les communautés d'énergie citoyennes (CEC) et les communautés d'énergie renouvelables (CER) sont des moyens permettant aux citoyens et aux entreprises de prendre part à la transition énergétique. Introduites par les directives "marché" 2019/944 et "renouvelable" 2018/2001, leur transposition au niveau national s'effectue de manière diverse selon les pays et les régions. En France, la transposition s'est matérialisée par l'ordonnance du 21 mars 2021. Cependant, la mise en place effective des CEC et des CER reste un défi.
Le premier numéro des webinaire Whats'upp in... organisé par le Cluster TWEED le jeudi 14 mars dernier portait sur les considérations légales et l'état d'avancement des initiatives de partage d'énergie en France.

La réglementation NIS porte sur la protection des réseaux et systèmes d'information des infrastructures essentielles et importantes. A partir d'octobre 2024, la directive NIS2 remplacera la précédente directive NIS1. La nouvelle réglementation concerne davantage de secteurs, élargit le scope au "supply chain", exige des mesures de sécurité plus détaillées et prévoit des sanctions plus strictes aux entreprises concernées qui ne s'y conforment pas.
L'objectif de ce webinaire, organisé en collaboration avec l'Infopole, était d'analyser plus en détails les changements apportés par NIS2 et d'apporter des éclaircissements, tant sur les aspects légaux que pratiques pour sa mise en oeuvre au sein des entreprises.

Webinaire PPA - Power Purchase Agreement - 04 octobre 2023Cluster TWEED
Le Cluster TWEED et le cabinet d’avocats Janson ont eu le plaisir de vous inviter à ce webinaire dédié aux contrats d'achat d'électricité (PPA).
Face à la demande croissante d'électricité, l'émergence des énergies renouvelables, et à la volatilité des prix de l'énergie, les contrats d'achat d'électricité (PPA) sont l'un des principaux moteurs de la transition énergétique.
Le projet AMORCE (Analyse Macro et micro-économique pour l’Optimisation et la Réplicabilité des Communautés d’Energie) vise à étudier le gain sociétal lié au développement des nouveaux modes d’échange d’énergie, et de proposer des schémas et modèles de tarifications/protocole/sécurité cohérents pour tous les acteurs, et surtout, compréhensibles pour les citoyens et utilisateurs finaux.
Pour nourrir les études, des liens étroits sont mis en place avec les stakeholders de l’écosystème wallon et également avec des groupements citoyens, utilisateurs ou encore des sociétés d’investissements, développeurs et gestionnaires immobiliers présents sur le territoire de la Ville de Liège, où pourront être déployés ensuite les Living Labs, permettant de nuancer et de faire vivre les conclusions des études précédentes.
Un Living Lab est un « laboratoire vivant » ou « démonstrateur pilote », permettant aux équipes de recherche de transposer des modélisations théoriques dans la réalité.
Notre objectif est d’étudier la possibilité de mettre en place une « communauté d’énergie » dans le bâtiment Madeleine, basée sur des installations de production d’électricité « verte » (par exemple, des panneaux photovoltaïques qui seraient installés sur les toits de immeuble).
La finalité du projet est donc de proposer des modèles et des outils permettant de répliquer les communautés d’énergie dans les configurations identifiées comme les plus pertinentes pour la collectivité. Il sera alors possible de quantifier le potentiel d’économies énergétiques et environnementales dans les prochaines années et de planifier sa réalisation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

CO2 capture from the air: myth or reality?
Technology wise, a reality
Carbon dioxide can be removed from ambient air through chemical processes based
on acid-base reactions. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is comparable to the respiratory
system or the photosynthesis.

Why capture from the air when there are so many
concentrated CO2 sources?
Advantages
DAC can capture the CO2 emitted by decentralized
sources (e.g. transport)
It can be decentralized towards sites that offer a
cheap source of renewable electricity and heat
Deployed closed to CO2 storage sites, DAC becomes a
Negative Emission Technology (NET)
Its modular construction means many of them can be
built which can drive down cost
Direct Air Capture for a circular carbon economy
Challenges
CO2 in the atmosphere is highly
diluted (~400 ppm):
Large energy footprint
Cost
Large land footprint
These challenges can be
overcome by:
Contactor development
Low carbon energy, such as
waste heat in the case of low
temperature DAC
DAC with storage can be a NET, next to bio-CCS, carbon soiling, reforestation

25. Emerging Sustainable Technologies
Platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts dominate today’s
applications
10
CHALLENGES
Even at high production volumes, the PGM catalyst is expected to represent a significant part of the fuel cell cost.
The wide development of electrochemical processes, that bridge the molecule-based economy with a green electricity
production should avoid the intensive use of PGM materials. As such, a large scientific effort is devoted to the development of low-
PGM and PGM-free catalysts.
Developments of new catalytic materials with improved performance are focused on composition and microstructure.

Demonstration
Future catalyst will have to be based on earth-abundant
materials and will require to work at moderate pressure
and temperature ultimately
The biocatalytic approach could allow the convergence of both approaches
ADVANTAGES
Mimicking the reactions taking place in
living organisms, biocatalysis has many
attractive features in the context of
green and sustainable chemistry:
Mild reaction conditions: ambient
temperature and pressure
High flexibility

CHALLENGES
Recycling biocatalysts
Development of more stable
biocatalysts according to two different
approaches:
- Keep wild type organisms / enzymes and
select organisms that live
in extreme environments as these will
be naturally more stable.
- Engineer it using genetic tools

More than half of the emission reduction will have to come from technologies that are
today not mature: Innovation and R&D are crucial and need to speed up!

47. 3 pathways towards Carbon neutrality
(i) Increase energy efficiency and increase

Making sure all our electricity generation is green is crucial but is not sufficient as it
will only reduce our overall emissions by 38 %.
Industry, transport and building account for half of emissions today! (IEA, ETP 2020)
49. January 2021
We must not only build new clean aluminum, cement, iron and steel, chemical, … plants BUT
must address emissions from EXISTING infrastructure since many assets are still young!
CCUS and H2 will be required.
50. January 2021
Belgian’s federal planning bureau estimated that even in the deep electrification scenario
(electrify as much as possible also in industry), molecules and import of renewable Energy
remain important

Import of renewable
energy remains

• Energy efficiency and circular economy are first crucial steps towards carbon neutrality
• Electrification using renewable electricity of many processes (beyond electrical vehicles) is a good idea!
• Hydrogen is difficult to store and move → where possible, direct and local use
• Turning hydrogen into another molecule (e.g. synthetic hydrocarbon like methane, methanol, …) makes
transporting its energy possible and we have existing infrastructure to do so!
• CCU makes sense:
• So carbon will play an important role in the carbon neutral energy transition!

69. CO2 capture
◼ It’s a question of fluid separation!
❑ Sources usually contain CO2, N2, H2O, H2, CH4, O2 …
❑ CO2 concentration varies between 0.04% and almost 100%
❑ Mature (exist for >50 years) & flexible, but cost only!

70. CO2 separation technologies
◼ Avoid fluid mixtures
◼ Absorption
❑ Physical
❑ Chemical
◼ Adsorption
◼ Membranes
◼ Cryogenic separation
◼ Others…
Threshold value ~15 vol-% in flue gas,
or 4 bar of P_CO2

76. Direct Air Capture (DAC)
◼ Negative CO2 emissions
❑ BECCS or DAC
K.S. Lackner, CNCE ASU, 2017.
16
77. Direct Air Capture
◼ Motivations
❑ Address non-concentrated CO2 emissions
❑ Close the carbon cycle of synthetic fuels
❑ Reduce the need for transporting CO2
◼ No Nimby effect, you can go wherever you want, incl.
close to use or storage sites
❑ Long-term considerations: remove C from the atmosphere
❑ Cost mostly due to sorbent regeneration, not from air
contacting
❑ Sorbent regeneration has similar cost whatever the CO2
concentration in the gas stream

78. Direct air capture
◼ ~ 410 ppm in the air
❑ Adsorption / Absorption
❑ Temperature-swing, moisture-swing
❑ Expected costs vary between 100 and 800 $/ton

82. Storage is state-of-the-art
◼ Potential for storage exceeds by far the needs
❑ 5000 – 25 000 GtCO2 vs. ~ 2000 GtCO2
❑ Pure storage: ~ 5 Mtpa
❑ Capture and EOR: ~ 30 Mtpa in 2016
◼ Storage costs ~7-30 USD/t, large infrastructure costs needed!

◼ No storage capacity offshore of Belgium
❑ Antwerp@C studies the infrastructure for connection to Norway
and The Netherlands
❑ => Pipelines, intermediate storage, liquefaction unit…

86. CO2, waste or feedstock?
◼ Sequestration or re-use?
❑ Consider CO2 as a resource, not as waste
◼ CO2 re-use potential up to ~ 4 – 16 Gtpa
◼ So far, sources for CO2 are high-purity ones
❑ Industrial (Ethanol, Ammonia, Ethylene, Natural gas…)
❑ Natural (Dome)
