However, they cannot efficiently handle peak power demands or recapture energy in today’s applications because they discharge and recharge slowly. Whereas, Ultracapacitors deliver quick bursts of energy during peak power demands, then quickly store energy and capture excess power that is otherwise lost.

The report also makes clear that a transition towards other battery types would have significant ramifications for development times and would be expensive to implement effectively. At high voltages, lead-based batteries are so far limited by their more modest recharge and discharge power and capacity turnover.

By converting UNFI’s Sarasota lift truck fleet to hydrogen fuel cells, the company expects carbon emissions will be reduced by approximately 132 metric tons annually, an amount equivalent to the annual emissions of 35 automobiles. Hydrogen fuel cell-powered equipment needs refueling once or twice daily, depending on use.

According to Velozzi, the cars will operate on 100% battery power in zero-emissions mode for a range of up to 200 miles. Then, when the batteries reach a pre-determined state of discharge, the Capstone microturbine will recharge the batteries on the fly to extend the driving range up to 1,000 miles.
