California Hydrogen Business Council says a robust P2G RD&D program should be a priority for the state

Green Car Congress

P2G converts electrical energy to chemical energy in the form of hydrogen. The hydrogen can then be transported through the natural gas grid via blending or further conversion to methane, transported by other means such as trucks, or used directly at the point of production.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. —Huskinson et al. Background.

Roev’s electric ute plans explained: Conversions now, manufacturing its own vehicle by 2026

EV Central

But the newcomer is a lot more than just another electric car brand. Roev, which stands for renewable optimised electric vehicles, has detailed plans to build electric utes, initially starting with Toyota Hiluxes and Ford Rangers converted to electric and eventually branching out to a ute designed and engineered in Australia.

PNNL study outlines requirements for grid storage, reviews four electrochemical energy storage systems: vanadium redox flow, Na-beta, Li-ion and lead-carbon

Green Car Congress

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. The most commonly used systems today work by converting electricity to kinetic (e.g.,
