New Fraunhofer membrane technology enables co-transport of hydrogen and natural gas

Green Car Congress

If hydrogen is collected from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, there are no climate-damaging emissions. The HYPOS (Hydrogen Power Storage & Solutions East Germany) project is working to create an intelligent infrastructure of distributor networks and storage stations that will make hydrogen available to all regions.

Researchers synthesize battery cathode from lignin derivatives

Green Car Congress

Renewable energy systems based on intermittent sources require methods for power balancing over time, and thus some means of storage. Charge storage in organic polymers rarely gives energy and power densities, gravimetric or volumetric, that match the needs for secondary batteries and supercapacitors. 1215159.
