EV BATTERY TECHNOLOGY
GETS A MAKEOVER
Think Greener, LLC is spotlighting a new solution looking to increase battery efficiency! Did you know that 40% of an EV cost is in its batteries? Not much has changed in battery technology over the past 30-years and this is all about to change!
Addionics is an EV battery startup company and sees big opportunities in this trillion-dollar market. Addionics focuses on the physics of the electric current collector within batteries at the nano-level locating space that was not yet utilized to make the battery more efficient allowing for more active material in a smaller space, increasing the range and decreasing the charge time!
This is what is going to help drive the EV market! Batteries that can provide… Continue reading
2021 International Climate Action Challenge
90 Day Eco Champion
Have you ever heard of COP26? Not everyone has! Think Greener, LLC is preparing for another carbon neutral 3-month travel around the world! We depart in late October with intensions of attending the 2021 United Nations Global Climate Change Conference, often referred to as Conference of the Parties (COP26). The 26 stands for the number of annual meetings held since 1995. This year, it will be held in Glasgow, Scotland between October 31st and November 12th and it is the… Continue reading
How to Build the
New Energy Transition
As the world enters an epic energy transition, decentralization of large power plants and switching to regional renewable infrastructure, like wind and solar, are critical. This is an incredible undertaking the construction industry must support!
More than $4 trillion will be spent by 2030 to meet our net zero goal! It will also require tripling the amount of current production of renewables such as wind and solar. In the next decade, the United States is expected to spend $1trillion on renewable energy.
For this energy transition to become a reality, the world needs to come together and scale up financing, specialized engineering teams, pre-construction and construction processes, consultants, labor, procurement of materials, transportation, and technology. Innovations in technology… Continue reading
New Uses for Old
Wind Turbine Blades
Sustainable solutions helping to reverse climate change come in many shapes, sizes and are implemented at different levels of society! Today’s spotlight will focus on brilliant ways people in Denmark are upcycling old wind turbine blades.
While recently in Denmark, Think Greener, LLC noticed their wind turbines everywhere, both on land and offshore, providing 40% of Denmark’s energy. In my recent blog “Are Wind Turbines Sustainable?”, I discussed the problems of older windfarms coming to the end of their lifecycle and the blades are not recyclable.
Denmark has come up with some revolutionary ways to upcycle the large blades and divert them from landfills. In the past, I have learned about architectural firms repurposing these blades as… Continue reading
