Well, when an EV is charged, AC (alternating current) electricity from the grid is converted to DC (direct current) electricity, the kind that can be used by a car. This conversion is carried out by either the car’s own converter or a converter located in the charger. But how does this work? V2G: Vehicle to Grid.

Non-edible carbohydrates are converted to renewable diesel-range liquids via two consecutive catalytic steps. A team at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) has designed a new simple, energy-efficient process (that also does not require any organic solvents) for the production of renewable diesel from biomass waste.

The NEMESIS2+ hydrogen generation system consists of a desulfurization module for liquid feedstock (diesel/biodiesel) followed by a reformer module, where catalytic conversion is accomplished by steam reforming with subsequent water-gas-shift reaction. This figure is already close to the economic efficiency of the prototype. Click to enlarge.

I know these them, I lived in Japan I know these people, I’ve sat and had conversations with them. Well Sunpower and Sanyo are first tier, meaning in the field they’re converting at about a 16% efficiency rate I believe. We’re behind Spain! I know these folks. Is three dollars a watt going to make this industry explode?
