Ceramatec says its new generation of battery would deliver a continuous flow of 5 kilowatts of electricity over four hours, with 3,650 daily discharge/recharge cycles over 10 years. With the batteries expected to sell in the neighborhood of $2,000, that translates to less than 3 cents per kilowatt hour over the battery's life. Conventional power from the grid typically costs in the neighborhood of 8 cents per kilowatt hour.

Songdo Opens its Doors

The first phase of the Songdo IBD international city celebrated its grand opening on August 7, 2009. This master planned "ubiquitous" metropolis is being developed on 1,500 acres of reclaimed land in South Korea along Incheon's waterfront by Gale International and Korea's POSCO E&C. It promises to be a model of sustainable, city-scale development and innovation.

When complete, Songdo IBD will encompass 100 million sq. ft., including forty-five million of office space, thirty million of residential space, ten million of retail, five million of hotel space and ten million of public space. By 2015, it will house 65,000 residents and 300,000 workers. It will be a city where technology, resources and innovation all come together to create the ideal environment.
