Sandia Successfully Completes Hydrogen Storage System for GM

Green Car Congress

The sodium alanate material used to store the hydrogen resides within the tubes. stores 3 kilograms of hydrogen and is large enough to evaluate control strategies suitable for use in vehicle applications. The sodium alanate used to store the hydrogen resides within the tubes, which essentially serve as a high-pressure storage vessel.

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

Green Car Congress

The energy is stored through a chemical reaction, which potentially allows the energy to be stored for a much longer period of time. The ability to store the heat captured by a CSP system during the day and continue running the power plant at night or when it’s cloudy makes solar power plants more reliable. SkyFuel, Inc.

Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

As electric utilities and policymakers seek solutions for storing and dispatching energy on demand, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) is once again gaining traction. Solar-thermal systems use sun-tracking mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a receiver, which contains a high-temperature fluid that stores heat.
