Fuel cells will soon debut in Tokyo Taxi
Beginning next month, the streets of Tokyo Digital Camcorder Battery, capital of Japan, will appear fuel cell powered, zero emission taxi. Some taxi lines have already received their orders – Nissan’s latest hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The car is equipped with hydrogen fuel cells and lithium batteries, its power performance is not lost to the traditional gasoline-powered cars, but it runs up the only byproduct is clean water vapor.
In recent years, the world’s major car manufacturers have prototype hydrogen-powered vehicles in the. However, some experts believe that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, although environmental protection, but the manufacture of hydrogen in the process still requires the burning of fossil fuels, resulting in carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, bio-fuels is possible is the ultimate solution.
South Korea KIST developed two kinds of core materials for rechargeable batteries
Korea Institute of Science and Technology recently said it has successfully developed two kinds of anode and cathode such as the core material of secondary batteries will be used to enhance the current mobile phones, notebook lithium battery performance.
It is understood that South Korea’s lithium-ion rechargeable Digital Camera Battery industry, although second only to Japan, one the world’s second, but most of the core material are imported from Japan.
Next-generation lithium battery technology can distinguish between two kinds of core material, one utilizing the anode material of lithium metal oxide materials, manufacturing technology, and second, the surface of carbon cathode materials processing technology. The former is to promote large-capacity secondary battery of ways to enhance the heat stability of focus, which extended the life of rechargeable batteries, rechargeable batteries and reduces the cost of materials.
KIST pointed out that the use of the institution to develop the materials technology to produce products, the capacity will be 20% higher than the existing products.
Business-oriented aspects of the two materials, in the carbon cathode materials, parts, faster then at the end of this year related products Canon Battery, in the anode materials, manufacturing technologies, then apply next year, the actual product.
Green pollution-free battery started to develop in Hefei
High-energy sodium / sulfur battery research project recently won the State Science and Technology allocating special funds, 80 million on a study. This volume of light, charging time is short, life without the maintenance and non-polluting new Canon NB-2L, Canon NB-2LH battery will soon walk out from the laboratory. According to experts, large-scale high-energy sodium / sulfur battery energy storage system can be energy storage, peak load shifting balance of power.
Small and medium sodium / sulfur battery energy storage system with a small solar power station and wind power stations matching to address the less-developed areas to residents and border posts power quality and security of electricity supply problems, while urban district can be used as emergency power supply. It successfully developed, will change the battery industry in China a long-term backwardness.
Promotion of environmentally friendly energy-saving battery facing the embarrassment of
In response to the national energy-saving and environmental protection policy appeals, a number of manufacturing industries in transition, produce high-quality environmentally friendly energy-saving products, but those products are currently facing the market test, to promote the situation is not optimistic. Among them, alkaline battery market, facing the embarrassment is particularly prominent.
It is understood by the State Quality Supervision and Test Center battery-light special testing, Nanfu, 555 and 11 backbone enterprises of mercury in alkaline manganese batteries are lower than the mercury content of mercury-free battery-limited targets, in full compliance with the provisions of the State nine departments; China Battery Industry Association 11 brands of alkaline manganese battery identified as the first “green alkaline manganese battery products,” recommended to the public. But so far, as the mainstream products in environment protection and energy Canon NB-3L, Canon NB-4L battery – alkaline batteries in China’s cover only 20% of the battery products, which in developed countries 80% ~ 90% of the high penetration rate far apart. Although the relevant state departments and production companies to work together, but the popularity of environmentally friendly energy-saving battery is still so slow the pace.
Experts pointed out, it should start from the concept of people’s consumption. From the consumer sense, energy-saving environmental protection despite the higher price of the battery, but it reflected energy-saving, environmental protection targets are ordinary carbon-zinc batteries several times; from environmental indicators point of view, Nanfu alkaline batteries on the environment will not be nearly pollution can be discarded along with the garbage; from the social sense, the alkaline batteries used in the production of materials, more energy saving society. Because they do not use of natural manganese ore, manganese dioxide, its use can be used or other low-grade manganese carbonate manganese ore for processing, so there is no shortage of resources. The carbon-zinc batteries are the main component of natural manganese, but China has fewer resources to discharge manganese, due to years of over-exploitation, the availability of discharge manganese nearly depleted.
Global PV rapid development, such as prairie fire
According to “China’s reform report,” January 30, 2007 reported: Joint Securities Research Institute recently released a report that is being used by the world’s photovoltaic power generation in remote rural areas, and special applications to grid-powered electricity generation and combined with the construction of the direction of transition Canon NB-5H, Canon NB-5L, PV supplementary energy generation is also being considered by the transition to alternative energy sources. Western developed countries in accordance with the planning, the next few decades, the global PV industry growth rates as high as 25% ~ 30%.
Allegedly, solar energy is a clean, efficient and everlasting new energy. Earth receives solar energy, only to issue the full energy of the sun’s surface is 1 / 2 billion or so, and these energies have been the equivalent of the world’s total energy required for the 30000 ~ 40000-fold.
Reported that the solar photovoltaic power generation is the main application areas, with safe and reliable, no noise, no pollution, fewer constraints, failure rate is low, maintenance is simple and so on. At present, the global average annual growth rate of solar modules up to 30%, and PV industry has become the world’s fastest-growing emerging industries. Reported that by 2030, the global PV power installed capacity will reach 300GW, until 2040, photovoltaic power generation will reach 15% of total global electricity generation to 20%.
Reported that, according to a preliminary National Development and Reform Commission to complete the “long-term development of renewable energy planning,” by 2020, China’s strive to make solar power installed capacity of 200 kilowatts. At present, China’s installed capacity of solar power generation only 6.5 million kilowatts. The next 15 years, China’s solar energy capacity of the compound annual growth rate will be up to 25%, and solar power a total investment of 95 billion yuan.
China-made batteries have a clear price advantage – Canon NB-6L
Cheap labor and resources to manufacture products with the price of China’s competitive advantage. In addition, the domestic battery is the machine of production and hand-assembled by combining the same production line as long as you can make minor adjustments to produce different specifications of products, equipment, less investment. Advantage of foreign companies a higher degree of machine production, product quality and stable production and high efficiency. But for different specifications of the product requires assembly of different production lines and equipment investment was large, so the product is priced higher, weakening their competitiveness.
