Battery capacity in the US more than tripled since the start of 2021: report
"Looked at from another angle, energy storage is growing. Corporate funding in energy storage companies soared in the first nine months of 2022, reaching $22 billion in 92 deals compared with $13 billion in 74 deals in the same period last year, according to a study by Mercom Capital Group."
Advanced recycling: Plastic crisis solution or distraction?
"The Ohio facility typically takes in 40 tons to 50 tons per day, heating and liquifying the plastic to turn it back into an oil or hydrocarbon liquid, about 10,000 gallons to 12,000 gallons daily. About 75% of what comes into the facility can be liquified like that. Another 15% is turned into a synthetic natural gas to heat the process, while the remainder — paper, metals, dyes, inks and colorants — exit the reactor as a byproduct, or carbon char, DeBenedictis said. The char is disposed of as nonhazardous waste, though in the future some hope to sell it to the asphalt industry."
