The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) announced a trial for a new type of electrolyzer which could see excess renewable energy stored in the gas grid and used to decarbonize Australia’s gas supply. Storing renewable energy directly in the gas network was a logical first route to market for the invention. —AGN CEO Ben Wilson.
