China will speed up the development and release of energy consumption labeling standards The EU Energy Minister held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the energy dilemma and pointed out that the first task is to promote the green energy transition. The EU Energy Ministers recently held a meeting in Brussels, Belgium, to…
While hydrogen energy heating “fires” throughout Europe, many European research institutions have pointed out that the current natural gas hydrogen heating, especially green hydrogen heating, still has many problems such as high cost and limited hydrogen sources. The rapid implementation of hydrogen energy Heating is likely to lead to a substantial increase in heating costs…
An increase of 5%-15% Lithium battery cells will increase prices early next year: electric car prices may increase Since the second half of this year, the price of electric vehicle batteries has been rising. According to data, the current price of NMC (811) batteries is nearly US$110/kWh. The price in the fourth quarter is expected…
