Researchers find capillary-fed electrolysis cell can deliver hydrogen at 98% cell energy efficiency

Green Car Congress

In an open access paper published in Nature Communications , researchers from the University of Wollongong in Australia report that their capillary-fed electrolysis cell demonstrates water electrolysis performance exceeding commercial electrolysis cells, with a cell voltage at 0.5 2 and 85 °C of only 1.51 kWh/kg hydrogen (vs. Hodges et al.

California Energy Commission adopts offshore wind goals: 5GW by 2030, 25 GW by 2045

Green Car Congress

There are currently two federally-designated wind energy areas (WEAs) off the cost of California: Humboldt off the North Coast and Morro Bay off the Central Coast. To date, most offshore wind energy projects have used fixed-bottom foundations, which are more suitable for shallow waters of 60 meters (about 200 feet) or less.

Wärtsilä swappable battery containers enabling inland waterway vessels to operate with zero emissions

Green Car Congress

The battery containers are installed on a 104 TEU inland waterway container vessel, which has been modified to allow two units to be mounted onboard. This replaceability is novel since battery containers have thus far been stationary installations. This allows the vessel’s operating costs to remain competitive.

DOE to award up to $180M for offshore wind demo projects; targeting lowering levelized cost of energy (LCOE) below 10¢/kWh

Green Car Congress

The demonstrations will help address key challenges associated with installing utility-scale offshore wind turbines; connecting offshore turbines to the power grid; and navigating new permitting and approval processes. The primary goals of the Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects are to: Install innovative offshore wind systems in U.S.

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

Green Car Congress

These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design. The innovative new turbine designs, along with distributed load control and regulator concepts, significantly reduce the levelized cost of energy. It has a low maintenance cost, resulting in a lower cost of energy.
