Study: Energy sorghum may combine best of annual, perennial bioenergy crops

Green Car Congress

Now, a study by researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE) Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) has found that energy sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) behaves more like miscanthus in the way it efficiently captures light and uses water to produce abundant biomass. Energy sorghum falls somewhere in between.

NREL: Untapped potential exists for blending hydropower, floating PV

Green Car Congress

The researchers estimate that adding floating solar panels to bodies of water that are already home to hydropower stations could produce as much as 7.6 Under one scenario, that means operators of a hybrid system could use pumped storage hydropower to store excess solar generation. terawatt-hours of potential annual generation.

Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. 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? Mechanical storage.
