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.

Wind Turbine Blades Destined for the Afterlife

Cars That Think

This group of wind-turbine fan blades, fresh from Siemens Gamesa’s new RecycleBlade manufacturing process at England’s largest such factory, await shipment to the various points around the globe where they will serve 20- to 30-year stints generating electricity at wind farms before they’re recalled and reincarnated. What’s Next?

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. Biomass can be converted into fuels through several steps. Carbon dioxide cycle of biomass-based fuels.

Old empires could be the key to a new car future – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Parking an electrolyzer near a wind farm, solar array or hydroelectric dam would be ideal because you can use renewable energy to deliver clean electricity directly to the hydrogen-production facility. An alternative to electrolysis is to use organic waste by extracting hydrogen from rotting food or sewage. Tesla Inc.’s

Stanford team proposes method for electricity production from oil shale with in situ carbon capture to provide transportation energy with reduced CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

In EPICC, waste heat from a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) placed in the subsurface is transferred via conduction to a geologic formation containing oil shale. The process would convert much of the organic carbon in oil shale to the char which is left in the subsurface. secondary use of waste heat. Waste heat from conversion.
