Yedinak and Meidl argue that hydrogen, used as a zero-carbon energy carrier, has the potential to transform the global energy landscape. Unlike solar and wind energy, hydrogen is a more natural substitute for fossil fuels in sectors that are particularly difficult to decarbonize (i.e. MT), and carbon fiber (~0.1

Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so. However, the distributed, non-synchronous, and weather-dependent nature of the resources causes specific challenges when integrating them into power systems.

You switch the mode on by dialing it up on the Ferrari’s dramatic steering wheel, which integrates a cool arc of LED lights on its carbon-fiber rim to cue drivers to shift. And where costs are plummeting for EVs, they’re already rising for ICE cars, as automakers divert resources elsewhere. And don’t forget sound.

The driver can program times for charging as well as preheating or cooling and adapt them to his or her requirements, such as departure time, so as to save resources and costs. Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations.
