Dual Carbon Battery

Is it a new chunk of optimism from Japan?

Until you can buy it it's just vaporware just like all the other advanced battery tech that never makes it to market.

NO. Organic means that it is grown in chemical, pesticide, and herbicide free soil the same whether food or cotton. So this technology requires organic soils used in food production.

Anytime a world changing technology requires farm acreage used to produce food to more profitably produce technology to power the world is bad.

Its a “rob food to pay energy” scheme at the expense of making health and food more expensive. Food would then have to compete with the price of organic cotton.

FUD to delay EV purchases and adoption. Just wait for something better keep driving your ICE. Might as well buy another.

Every month there is a new battery technology which is “Stop the presses” good and revolutionary. 10x power density, 10x cost reduction, 10x less resources, etc etc.

Every 5 years or so, one of them makes it past the lab stage and into production. Every 20 years or so they actually live up to the promise they showed.

Battery development is going to be incremental. That’s the nature of the beast. Even if we found something truly revolutionary, it wouldn’t mean stopping existing production because we need all of the cells we can get. This is why Tesla hasn’t had Panasonic stop 2170 production or even 18650 production. These assembly lines exist and are producing capacity. Tesla needs it to get cars on the road.

Theres a few biofuels like biogas that use food waste to produce energy, even after you have digested it yourself, or using the plant parts you couldn’t eat.

There are millions of biogas plants for waste disposal that provide methane gas for lighting and cooking, whilst reducing emissions and improving health from better air quality, over burning timber which produces air particles and soot etc, which leads to deforestation and drudgery if women who use large portions of their day to collect timber to cook water and meals for their families.

So it is quite possible to have plants for food and use the leftover for energy. They aren't mutually exclusive.
