The global electric vehicle fleet reached 40 million units in 2024. Each vehicle carries a battery pack weighing 400-900 pounds, containing lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. Most packs were manufactured between 2018 and 2024 and have an expected lifespan of 8-15 years. Projections indicate a wave of end-of-life EV batteries entering recycling facilities starting in 2026, peaking around ...
PV module IV curve is a powerful diagnostic tool for understanding how a photovoltaic module actually performs under real-world conditions. It shows how current and voltage interact and helps verify system health, detect performance losses, and support reliability assessments for engineers, O&M teams, EPCs, and asset owners.This guide explains what a PV module IV curve is, how to interpret it, ...
The European Union’s Plastic Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), coming into effect in 2026, sets stricter requirements on recycled content, recyclability, and environmental impact of plastic packaging. Meeting these targets is challenging, especially for complex or multi-layer plastics. Pyrolysis oil, a liquid product derived from waste plastic pyrolysis, is emerging as a valuable ...
The pyrolysis process, often associated with waste-to-energy conversion, involves the thermal decomposition of organic materials in an oxygen-limited environment. While much attention has been given to the production of biofuels and solid char, the combustible gas generated during pyrolysis holds significant untapped potential. These gases, primarily composed of hydrogen, methane, carbon ...
