Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

It is, however, a challenge that is being made all the greater as we continue to decentralize power generation with more distributed, variable and inflexible sources, such as wind and solar. Increasingly, wind and solar are replacing fossil fuels as our principle source of energy.

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

Green Car Congress

The states account for 35% of US-installed wind capacity and while the region only produces about 4% of the nation’s solar energy, a number of pending large solar farms and community solar projects will greatly increase the region’s solar generating capacity.

New German ecoPtG project seeks to make power-to-gas commercially viable with help of automotive technology

Green Car Congress

They aim to demonstrate that CO 2 -neutral hydrogen can be produced in a cost-effective manner and intend to facilitate the storage of electricity. Solar and wind energy generation depends on the weather and is subject to significant fluctuations. By converting electricity to gas, solar and wind power become storable.

IEA report calls for no investment in new fossil fuel supply and end to sales of ICE cars by 2035

Green Car Congress

The report is the first comprehensive study of how to transition to a net zero energy system by 2050 while ensuring stable and affordable energy supplies, providing universal energy access, and enabling robust economic growth. The pathway calls for annual additions of solar PV to reach 630 GW by 2030, and those of wind power to reach 390 GW.
