Everfuel signs MOU for hydrogen supply to new zero-emission ship concept

Green Car Congress

In HySynergy a large-scale production of green hydrogen will demonstrate how fluctuating renewable energy sources can be converted and stored effectively to balance the time-difference between production and use of energy. Trefor Elnet as the power DSO. Energinet as the power TSO. EWII as power grid analyst.

E.ON developing pilot hydrogen plant for storing wind power in the German gas grid

Green Car Congress

is developing a pilot plant in Falkenhagen in the north east of Germany to convert power from wind energy into hydrogen which can then be stored in the country’s gas grid. Using power from renewable energy sources, the plant will produce about 360 m 3 (30 kg) of hydrogen per hour from 2013 onwards through electrolysis.

ABB opens new plant for battery systems for mobility applications in Baden

Green Car Congress

Integration of energy storage systems makes it possible to convert diesel trainsets into diesel hybrid vehicles, thus cutting CO 2 emissions by 30% with the possibility of achieving significant energy savings through recuperation. Unlike in Switzerland, many other European countries still have countless non-electrified railway lines.

SoCalGas & UC Irvine show power-to-gas technology able to boost use of intermittent renewable energy significantly

Green Car Congress

With power-to-gas technology, you don’t need to stop renewable power generation when demand is low. Instead, the excess electricity can be used to make hydrogen that can be integrated into existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure and stored for later use. Power-to-gas systems are currently in place in Germany and Canada.

What Is Vehicle-to-Grid Technology and How Does It Work?

EV Connect

Department of Energy (DOE), the growing demand from plug-in electric vehicles and many other technologies that require electricity could increase the load on our power grids by up to 38% by 2050. Power companies and government agencies are working hard to meet this demand, but it’s a challenging task. How Does V2G Work?
