Researchers split seawater without pre-treatment to produce green hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The use of vast amounts of high-purity water for hydrogen production may aggravate the shortage of freshwater resources. It is always necessary to treat impure water to a level of water purity for conventional electrolysers including desalination and deionisation, which increases the operation and maintenance cost of the processes.

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources. These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design.

ARPA-E SHARKS: new program to develop hydrokinetic turbines for tidal and riverine currents

Green Car Congress

Tidal and riverine energy resources are renewable, have the advantage of being highly reliable and predictable, and are often co-located with demand centers, while HKT devices can be designed with low visual profiles and minimal environmental impact. DE-FOA-0002334 ).

Audi putting a centralized server solution into test operation in cycle-dependent production; edge solution gets rid of individual PCs

Green Car Congress

The server solution makes it possible to level out spikes in demand over the total number of virtualized clients—a more efficient use of resources. That’s also why we call the solution Edge Cloud: because it’s close to our shop floor environment. The new IT concept also improves ease of maintenance and IT security.
