Japan team evaluates battery-assisted low-cost hydrogen production from solar energy

Green Car Congress

The results from this study suggested a cost of hydrogen as low as ¥17 to ¥27/Nm 3 (US$0.16 - $0.25) using a combination of technologies and the achievement of ambitious individual cost targets for batteries, PV, and electrolyzers. This approximately converts to US$1.92 to US$3.00/kg Credit: NIMS. 2018.11.119 ).

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design. They will incorporate experts in hydrodynamics, structural dynamics, control systems, power electronics, grid connections, and performance optimization. It has a low maintenance cost, resulting in a lower cost of energy.

Hydrexia and HyGear partner on low-cost hydrogen distribution in Europe; solid state storage and delivery

Green Car Congress

The systems operate at low pressure (up to 10bar), which provides superior safety. Hydrexia says that its ground storage products will be available for commercial deliveries starting Q1 2016. The solid-state trailer product is optimized for high hydrogen storage density and low delivery cost. Mobile Delivery Products.

How Much Does it Cost to Charge an Electric Car at a Public Charging Station?

EV Connect

To put that in context, we need to explore the cost of charging an electric car at a public charging station, and see how businesses can reduce EV charging station costs. The cost of Level 2 charging varies depending on electricity rates, time of day, and location.
