US DOE Awarding Up To $62M for Concentrating Solar Power Research and Development

Green Car Congress

CSP technologies concentrate the sun’s energy and capture that energy as heat, which then drives an engine or turbine to produce electrical power. CSP plants can include low-cost energy storage, allowing them to provide electricity even when the sun is not shining. Albuquerque, NM – up to $4.3 SkyFuel, Inc.

Sandia Successfully Completes Hydrogen Storage System for GM

Green Car Congress

For GM, the enduring value of this project can be found in the design concepts, computational tools, and control strategies that Sandia developed. With this new body of knowledge and information, we will be able to quickly design viable systems as new storage materials emerge. Jim Spearot, GM lead executive for hydrogen storage.
