MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. California draws more than 20% of its electricity from solar and approximately 7% from wind, with more VRE coming online rapidly. Gençer and Drake D.

ARPA-E to award up to $5M to investigate extracting rare earth and other critical minerals from macroalgae

Green Car Congress

Seaweeds accumulate trace metals in such an efficient way that this process is sometimes used to clean up polluted harbors. Factors including but not limited to cultivation region, cultivation mechanism, the effects of water quality and proximity of natural mineral sources, and harvest strategy are of interest.

IISA study proposes using airships for efficient cargo or hydrogen transportation

Green Car Congress

The jet stream is a core of strong winds that flows from west to east, around 8 to 12 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. Given that renewable electricity, for example, excess wind power, can be transformed into hydrogen, there is some optimism that the hydrogen economy will form a fundamental part of a clean and sustainable future.
