thyssenkrupp’s water electrolysis technology qualified as primary control reserve in Germany; hydrogen production for the electricity market

Green Car Congress

thyssenkrupp’s proprietary water electrolysis technology for the production of. In the future thyssenkrupp’s electrolysis plants will be able to act as large-scale buffers to stabilize the power grid and compensate fluctuations quickly and flexibly. In 2018 methanol was produced from steel mill gases for the first time.

Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. Just like we put food in the refrigerator, we can store it for days or weeks without eating it immediately or discarding it. So what exactly is energy storage? This article will answer your confusion.

RMIT researchers demonstrate working rechargeable proton battery

Green Car Congress

The rechargeable battery is environmentally friendly, and has the potential, with further development, to store more energy than currently-available lithium ion batteries. In 2014, the RMIT team showed that a proton battery with a metal alloy electrode for storing hydrogen could work, but its reversibility and rechargeability was too low.
