Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

Welcome to Australia, where a green-hydrogen boom is in full swing. Add up the capacity figures in all of Australia’s current proposals to produce green hydrogen and the sum exceeds Australia’s power-generating capacity. It’s all part of a green-hydrogen wave that’s spreading worldwide. Why a hydrogen truck?

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.

Lightweight electromobile with ROHACELL body crosses Australia almost exclusively on wind energy

Green Car Congress

The Wind Explorer pilot vehicle is a two-seated electromobile that weighs just 200 kg (441 lbs) and with a range of 400 kilometers (249 miles) per battery charge. Its lithium-ion batteries, based on yet another Evonik technology, are charged by a mobile wind turbine or in the conventional way from the power grid.

Bloomberg NEF forecasts falling battery prices enabling surge in wind and solar to 50% of global generation by 2050

Green Car Congress

We see $548 billion being invested in battery capacity by 2050, two thirds of that at the grid level and one third installed behind-the-meter by households and businesses. trillion of that going to wind and solar and a further $1.5 levels below 450 parts per million. NEO 2018 sees $11.5

bp and thyssenkrupp Steel to advance the decarbonization of steel production; low-carbon hydrogen and renewable power

Green Car Congress

The companies will explore supply options for both blue and green hydrogen, as well as power from wind and solar generation through the use of power purchase agreements. It also forms the foundation for a string of decarbonization technologies, including wind turbines, generators and smart power grids.

Daimler and partners deploying world’s largest 2nd-life EV battery storage unit for grid support

Green Car Congress

With an increasing supply of electricity from fluctuating renewable energies, such as wind farms or solar power stations, they can help stabilize power grids, levelling out energy fluctuations with virtually no loss—a role that is partly fulfilled by fossil power plants at present.
