Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

—Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility. What was the maximum share of wind that we could have in the system without blowing it up—5 percent or 20 percent or 30 percent? What about the pitfalls with energy modeling?

Biomass fuels: challenges and opportunities – ET Auto

Baua Electric

While solar and wind provide carbon-free electricity or H 2 through water splitting, they lack the ability to directly produce carbon-based fuels and chemicals without additional carbon sources. Schematic of biomass to bio-oil conversion process. The schematic of biomass to ethanol production is shown in Figure 2.

New highly selective and efficient catalyst for reduction of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Over the last 20 years, electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction has attracted attention because of the ability to use electricity from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and wave. We’re hopeful that the catalyst we’ve developed can pave the way toward future advances in this area —Feng Jiao. Hutchings, Yannick C.
