Check It Out

Discussions on the potential to create a carbon free corridor from Montreal to Chicago have been underway. While some groups have identified possible opportunities and challenges, this undertaking requires a truly multi-perspective analysis to properly identify feasibility, economic opportunity and risk, environmental benefits, and business cases for implementation. To address this, a Carbon Free Corridor Working Group has been formed and a series of workshops are being conducted to educate relevant stakeholders and identify possible collaborations and funding mechanisms to properly evaluate this initiative.

OUR NEXT WEBINAR

TOPIC SUMMARY

Battery life is impacted in the short term (state of charge) by how it is used - there are nanoscale relationships to macroscale variables that are not completely understood.

There could also be implications for a battery's second life. Battery reincarnation is an exploding industry with challenge and opportunity abound.

We will explore first and second life with leading edge experts - come out and see!
