Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

Grid balancing and resilience is not a challenge borne out of our transition to a net-zero carbon economy. It is, however, a challenge that is being made all the greater as we continue to decentralize power generation with more distributed, variable and inflexible sources, such as wind and solar.

Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

The carbon-free rigs will pack 50 kilos of hydrogen zapped from water using electricity from the refinery’s dedicated solar power plant. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot.
