Argonne and University of Illinois to form Midwest Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Coalition

Green Car Congress

The states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas are home to a quarter of the US population and consume 30% of electric power generated in the US. As a consequence, the Midwestern states have some of the highest levels of renewable energy on their grids.

An example, she says, is the task of balancing energy flows in the power grid. Nanofluids suspended in water-based electrolytes were first investigated for this application in 2009 by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory and the Illinois Institute of Technology. and an expert in flow batteries.
