Improving energy efficiency in buildings, transportation, and industry in the United States could save about $4.8 trillion in energy and related costs in the next decades—equivalent to almost $31,000 per household—a new report finds. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) study points to a key opportunity for policymakers as families face challenging home energy bills and gasoline prices, the electric grid is strained by new demand from data centers and other loads, and extreme weather events increase because of high greenhouse gas emissions.

The Hydrogen Energy Association (HEA) has launched a major new report calling for a broader approach to decarbonising the UK's land transport sector, arguing that hydrogen has a vital role to play alongside battery-electric technologies in delivering net zero.

A study conducted by researchers at Hanyang University in South Korea have discovered that exposing battery precursor materials to air alters manganese chemistry in high-nickel batteries with manganese-rich protective shells, creating reactive surface defects that accelerate electrolyte breakdown and cause battery degradation.

Andreas Atkins tells REM that expanding the UK’s EV charging network requires early investment to manage grid, planning and cost constraints as demand grows.
