Topsoe and First Ammonia sign 5GW electrolyzer agreement for green ammonia

Green Car Congress

The production of 5 million metric tons of green ammonia produced per year would eliminate 13 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, the equivalent of taking 9 million gasoline-fueled cars off the road. At 5GW, this would be the largest electrolyzer reservation of any type.

Toshiba supplying H2-based energy supply system to Tohoku Electric Power; evaluating H2 for overcoming fluctuations from renewables

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen is stored in a tank, then fed to a fuel cell unit to produce electricity (and hot water) when required. Over the two years of the project, Tohoku Electric will monitor the viability of the hydrogen power storage system as a solution for offsetting power output fluctuations caused by an expansion of renewables.

Researchers synthesize battery cathode from lignin derivatives

Green Car Congress

Widespread application of electrical power storage may require more abundant materials than those available in inorganics (which often require rare metals), and at a lower cost. Materials for charge storage are desired from easily accessible and renewable sources. —Milczarek and Inganäs.

Further, the cathode is automatically protected from O 2 gas release and overcharging through the shuttling of self-generated radical species soluble in the carbonate electrolyte. You need large auxiliary systems to remove the carbon dioxide and water, and it’s very hard to do this.” V in O x− (condensed phase) → O 2 (gas).
