Chalmers team develops graphite-like anode for Na-ion batteries; Janus graphene

Green Car Congress

Each molecule in between two stacked graphene sheets is connected by a covalent bond to the lower graphene sheet and interacts through electrostatic interactions with the upper graphene sheet, resulting in a unique structure. —Sun et al. The Chalmers researchers devised a novel way to solve this. —Vincenzo Palermo.

What is Renewable energy integration, challenges, why it is needed

Baua Electric

what is renewable energy integration ? Renewable energy integration refers to the process of efficiently incorporating renewable energy sources into existing energy systems. Energy Storage: Renewable energy sources are often intermittent, meaning they don’t produce energy consistently.

Study suggests energy and GHG impacts of synthetic hydrocarbon fuels from CO2 are greater than impacts of existing hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

That solar fuels offer the promise of solar energy storage—a key challenge in a world predominantly relying on renewables. Data for diesel, GTL, ethanol, BTL and solar hydrogen cannot be divided into the uptake of CO 2 and connected processes and are therefore aggregated. Credit: ACS, van der Giesen et al.

NREL researchers capture excess photon energy to produce solar fuels; higher efficiency water-splitting for H2

Green Car Congress

We demonstrated that the same process that produces extra current in a solar cell can also be applied to produce extra chemical reactions or stored energy in chemical bonds. A salt bridge connects the two compartments and transports H + and Na +. Funds for the research came from the Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

Audi unveils e-gas project: synthetic methane from the methanation of green hydrogen; series production of CNG models in 2013 powered by e-gas

Green Car Congress

This source of energy, generated in a climate-friendly manner, can be used to power fuel-cell vehicles in the medium-term. Although this methane is also known as synthetic natural gas, the company refers to it as Audi e-gas. If necessary, this energy can flow from the gas network back to the power grid at any time.
