DLR team integrates solar heat into solid oxide electrolyzer for highly efficient hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Experimental setup of the solar heated solid oxide electrolyzer system for hydrogen production. 2 a steam conversion rate of 70% at 93% electrical electrolyzer efficiency was achieved. Water electrolysis is considered as a promising pathway for the production of sustainable hydrogen to be used as such an energy carrier.

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

Green Car Congress

The case for using Power-to-Gas solutions to store renewable energy is compelling for a number of important use cases, according to a new white paper released by the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC). P2G systems use electrolysis powered by renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen—i.e., Click to enlarge.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

The two main components—the electrochemical conversion hardware through which the fluids are flowed (which sets the peak power capacity) and the chemical storage tanks (which set the energy capacity)—may be independently sized. The quinones are dissolved in water, which prevents them from catching fire.

Reply ↓ ↑ report 6 CaramelZappa 3:20AM (4/23/2009) Yea, you COULD convert a lotus for $10k but the conversion wouldnt be terribly satisfying. link] This guy has a very nice looking conversion, he managed to do it for about 25k. As more renewables come online, battery electrics just keep getting cleaner and greener.
