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

Green Car Congress

Quinones are naturally abundant, inexpensive, small organic molecules, and similar to molecules that store energy in plants and animals. The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable.

Porsche, Siemens Energy and partners advance climate-neutral eFuels development; Haru Oni pilot in Chile

Green Car Congress

Electrolyzers will use wind power to produce green hydrogen. The Haru Oni pilot project in Magallanes Province takes advantage of the excellent wind conditions in southern Chile to produce climate-neutral fuel with the aid of green wind power. Enel is a co-funder of the plant, with a focus on wind power and electrolysis.

New $30M ARPA-E program to produce renewable liquid fuels from renewable energy, air and water

Green Car Congress

The program is focused in two areas: (1) the synthesis of CNLFs using intermittent renewable energy sources and water and air (N 2 and CO 2 ) as the only chemical input streams; and (2) the conversion of CNLFs delivered to the end point to another form of energy (e.g. Fuel cost $/kg. Fuel cost, $/kWh. Transmission cost, $/kWh.

Stanford faculty awarded $2.2 million for innovative energy research; fuel cells, hybrids, splitting CO2

Green Car Congress

Many local devices that can either generate electricity, like rooftop solar panels, or store energy, like electric cars, are expected to help reduce the costs of the traditional system, especially as intermittent renewable energy provides a bigger fraction of our energy use. Making Large Wind Farms More Productive, Less Expensive.
