ORNL’s Motor Decide ranks motor technologies on critical material and supply chain factors

ORNL’s Motor Decide ranks motor technologies on critical material and supply chain factors

🌍✨ ORNL’s Motor Decide ranks motor technologies on critical material and supply chain factors

Why we’re watching: Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed Motor Decide, a platform designed to help manufacturers evaluate electric motor technologies when critical material supplies and prices are uncertain.

Motor Decide evaluates motor technologies on performance, critical material availability, supply chain stability, technology maturity and long-term resilience. 💚

The platform doesn’t design a motor, but evaluates which motor technology may be the best fit for a specific application.
