Rolls-Royce mtu Kinetic PowerPack approved for renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

Because HVO fuel is produced from renewable resources, its production, transportation, and combustion generate only about as many greenhouse gases as were absorbed by the plants during biomass growth. If the public power grid fails, the systems intervene immediately and without interruption because they are already in action anyway.

ORNL researchers use blockchain to increase electric grid resiliency; Grid Guard

Green Car Congress

Our system helps determine in near real time whether a fault was triggered by a cyberattack or induced by natural events. This saves energy and reduces the space needed to store data. The blockchain processes thousands of transactions per second for each intelligent grid device, validating the contents. doi: 10.2172/1887685.
