SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

SGH2’s gasification process uses a plasma-enhanced thermal catalytic conversion process optimized with oxygen-enriched gas. It can also provide lowest-cost long-term storage for electrical grids relying on renewable energy. Hydrogen can also reduce and potentially replace natural gas in all applications.

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

These networks include cables that connect wind farms to the shore and supply electricity to our power grid infrastructure (Figure 3). Installation and maintenance is easier to accomplish in shallow waters. After that, they proceeded with a complex grid, which is typical of cable joint pits found in OWFs. 1913–1921, 2018.
