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.

Researchers demonstrate electrochemical synthesis of ammonia from air and water under mild conditions

Green Car Congress

Andrews have demonstrated that ammonia can be synthesized directly from air (instead of N 2 ) and H 2 O (instead of H 2 ) under a mild condition (room temperature, one atmosphere) with supplied electricity which can be obtained from renewable resources such as solar, wind or marine. —Lan et al.

Why is Hydroelectricity So Green, and Yet Unfashionable?

Cars That Think

I live in Manitoba , a province of Canada where all but a tiny fraction of electricity is generated from the potential energy of water. Instead, that pure status is now reserved above all for wind and solar. stores of energy , as reservoirs for drinking water and irrigation, and for recreation and aquaculture.

Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Some types of lithium mining require a lot of water and energy and have led to local pollution, such as in South America’s alpine lakes. Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. Disruptive innovations grow quickly and exponentially.

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

Baua Electric

Hydrogen is the most abundant substance in the universe, and a crucial element in the creation of our most precious resource: water. Recently, industry has turned to green hydrogen, created by running an electric current through water with an electrolyte. Put this in a car and you have a fuel-cell electric vehicle. or Ford Motor Co.
