šŸ’§ HYDROGEN: Argonne National Laboratory led a team of researchers in studying polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells — energy efficient and eco-friendly hydrogen-based energy sources that could power vehicles but have performance limitations that prevent widespread commercialization. The scientists created a process that reduces material degradation by incorporating gold, which helps the fuel cells’ long-term operation and could make the products more marketable.

šŸŒž SOLAR:Ā Also at Argonne, a software engineer who uses artificial intelligence to monitor how birds interact with solar installations discussed his work during a one-on-oneĀ interview with the Center for Data Innovation.

šŸ”‹ BATTERIES:Ā TheĀ U.S. Department of EnergyĀ joined other federal agencies inĀ launching the Federal Consortium for Advanced BatteriesĀ to accelerate advanced energy storage development and establish a domestic supply of lithium batteries. The agencies view advanced batteries as critical for greater electric vehicle uptake and creating resilient, flexible power grids of the future.

🚰 WATER: Youngstown State University researchers are advancing a patented water decontamination technology that removes pharmaceuticals from tap water.

šŸŽ‰ PRODUCT LAUNCH:Ā West Concord, Minnesota-based farm water management companyĀ EllistonĀ launched aĀ software solutionĀ to help farmers manage their data and water management tools to boost efficient resource use and crop yield.

šŸ™ļø BUILDINGS:Ā The president of theĀ Michigan Energy Innovation Business CouncilĀ penned aĀ piece in Greentech MediaĀ detailing how Midwest communities can advance building electrification and eliminate fossil fuel-reliant systems, even in places with harsh winters.
