State Renewable Policies, Not Market Forces, Drive U.S. Grid Reliability Challenges, Analysts Say
State-level renewable portfolio standards and carbon-free mandates are creating reliability challenges for U.S. electricity grids, according to grid operators and energy analysts. PJM Interconnection and other regional transmission organizations have reported that retiring baseload generation, driven by policy not market demand, has led to tighter reserve margins, officials said. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation […]

UC San Diego engineers develop method to upcycle spent EV battery material into higher-performance cathode
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a method to upcycle cathodes from used lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries into lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP), which stores more energy, according to a study published in Joule. The process transforms existing battery material into a higher-value product instead of breaking it down into […]
