California PUC requires SCE to procure at least 50 MW of new electrical capacity in LA Basin from energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

Among the requirements of the decision is that at least 50 MW must be procured from energy storage resources. and at least 150 MW through preferred resources (energy efficiency, demand response, and distributed generation). Going forward, SCE’s customers will not be solely reliant on a fossil fueled electric supply.

California Hydrogen Business Council says a robust P2G RD&D program should be a priority for the state

Green Car Congress

According to the white paper, an important distinction between P2G and other forms of energy storage is that P2G allows conversion of energy amongst a variety of sectors and end-uses (e.g., Constraining storage solutions to “electricity-in, electricity-out” only will increase the cost of intermittency.

Study Finds Bioelectricity Better Option Than Liquid Biofuels for Transportation Output and GHG Emissions

Green Car Congress

“We found that converting biomass to electricity rather than ethanol makes the most sense for two policy-relevant issues, transportation and climate.” These results provide further support for general bioelectricity applications which are already thought to have greater climate mitigation benefits than ethanol. Resources.

UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

Key to realizing the potential role for hydrogen in transportation is automakers’ continuing commitment to hydrogen FCVs as a necessary complement to plug-in electric vehicles and a critical component of their long-term strategy to provide vehicles that contribute to energy and climate policy goals.

LowCVP reports indicate pathways for meeting renewable energy targets in transportation, decarbonizing fuel to 2030 and beyond

Green Car Congress

The report concludes that the decade from 2020 is when electrification of vehicles (including plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles and/or fuel cell vehicles) is likely to become a mainstream offer, providing there are advances in electricity storage technology and assuming adequate grid capacity.
