The EU's renewed focus on expanding nuclear energy is a strategically sound response to the region's long-term energy security and climate goals. Nuclear remains unique in providing clean, secure and scalable electricity.

The headline catalyst is a Front-End Engineering Design contract awarded to Plug Power to supply a 275 MW GenEco PEM electrolyzer system for Hy2gen Canada's 'Courant' project in Baie-Comeau, Quebec. This project will utilize low-carbon electricity from Hydro-Quebec to produce green hydrogen, which will then be converted into low-carbon ammonia and decarbonized ammonium nitrate for use in the mining and agriculture industries.

San Jose fire officials warned that lithium-ion batteries are highly toxic when ablaze due to 'highly irritating gases' like carbon monoxide.

Together, we developed a high-voltage battery system that unlocks the full potential of the new cylindrical cells in record time, delivering significant improvements in energy, range, and charging performance.

Lucid delivered a remarkably small number of vehicles in Q1, at 3,903. It produced 5,500. The company blamed much of this on a supplier's lack of inventory, which cost it 29 days of disruption.

On average, fuel prices are up almost a dollar per gallon, or 25 percent, according to AAA. For a nation as addicted to the automotive as we are, that's bad news. Except, of course, for electric vehicles.

When the battery starts discharging, the sulfur at the cathode starts losing electrons and forming sulfur tetrachloride (SCl 4), using chloride it stole from the electrolyte. As the electrons flow into the anode, they combine with the sodium, which plates onto the aluminum, forming a layer of sodium metal. Obviously, this wouldn't work with an aqueous electrolyte, given how powerfully sodium reacts with water.

The first sites are expected to open later this Summer, and will be built at select locations along I-5 and I-10, major routes for commercial vehicles and significant logistics companies. The chargers will be available in California, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. Each station will have between four and eight chargers, delivering up to 1.2 megawatts of power at each stall.
