Researchers use quantum computing method to optimize molecular photoswitches for solar energy harvesting

Green Car Congress

Molecular photoswitches that can both convert and store energy could be used to make solar energy harvesting more efficient. The procedure was based on a dataset of more than 400,000 molecules, which the researchers screened to find the optimum molecular structure for solar energy storage materials.

BNEF: cost of new renewables rises as inflation starts to bite

Green Car Congress

The cost of new-build onshore wind has risen 7% year on year, and fixed-axis solar has jumped 14%, according to the latest analysis by research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). Despite temporary cost rises for renewables, the gap to fossil fuel power generation continues to widen due to fuel and carbon prices rising even faster.

Anaergia to supply CO2 to European Energy A/S for green e-methanol production as fuel for container ships

Green Car Congress

Once this gas is processed, Anaergia produces pipeline quality renewable natural gas (RNG) and a clean stream of carbon dioxide that normally gets released to the atmosphere. European Energy, a major multinational renewable wind and solar energy producer, will produce green e-methanol from this biogenic CO 2.

Solar and Battery Companies Rattle Utility Powerhouses

Cars That Think

It's being marketed as the " Tesla Energy Plan ," and is available to any individual household in this region of 24 million people that has a solar panel system, a grid connection—and a Tesla powerwall, the Palo Alto firm's gigafactory-made 13.5 kWh battery wall unit. For bigger national grids it gets more complicated.
