A new thermal engineering process could make it viable to use lighter plastic product components in things such as vehicles, LEDs and computers. Until now, the material has been overlooked for certain applications because of its limitations in dissipating heat, but scientists from the University of Michigan have found a way to change plastic's molecular structure, making it as thermally conductive

The automotive industry is considering a shift to a subscription-based model for selling cars, in which customers would pay a monthly fee for access to a variety of different models. However, this model has met with resistance from consumers and experts, who argue that it is simply another way for car companies to bilk their customers for extra fees. With the average car price already cresting $48,000, people are unlikely to be willing to pay even more on a recurring basis for access to certain comfort features. Unless automakers lower the purchase price of new vehicles to offset the subscriptions, the model is not likely to be successful.

Massachusetts and Washington will be the next states to follow California's lead in mandating the sale of only gas-powered passenger vehicles by the 2035 model year. This is expected to help reduce air pollution, especially in communities that are overburdened by it. The states are working closely with businesses to make this transition as smooth as possible. In addition, Hertz has announced that it will order up to 175,000 electric vehicles from GM through 2027. Finally, GM and the Environmental Defense Fund have recommended that the EPA set standards for 50% of new vehicles sold by 2030 to be zero-emitting.

The U.S. auto industry is investing heavily in electric vehicle production and the associated supply chain, with companies like Ford and GM announcing billions in investment for gigafactories and partnerships with battery producers. However, investment in other parts of the supply chain, such as mining and refining critical minerals and producing battery materials, has been more modest. The government is offering subsidies and requirements for domestic sourcing in an effort to boost investment in these areas. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

According to BHP and Normet Canada, the use of battery electric vehicles in underground potash mining can reduce CO2 emissions by 50%. Other companies, such as Snow Lake Lithium and Opibus/ROAM, are also working towards creating a sustainable supply chain for EV production by using electric vehicles in their mining operations. These efforts not only lessen environmental impact but also improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness for miners. Overall, the adoption of electric vehicles in mining is another step towards a fully sustainable industry. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.
