Fraunhofer analysis finds battery-electric trucks have energy cost advantage over hydrogen trucks

Green Car Congress

In a recent analysis, Fraunhofer ISI concludes that battery-electric drives will become established in heavy-duty applications in the commercial vehicle sector and that fuel cells will remain a niche application. The decisive factor for the switch to battery-electric vehicles is the energy cost advantage compared to hydrogen and diesel.

Study finds all-electric rideshare fleet could reduce carbon emissions, but increase traffic issues

Green Car Congress

They used the model and the data to estimate the life cycle air pollution, greenhouse gas, and traffic externality benefits and costs of serving rides based on Chicago TNC trip data from 2019 to 2022 with fully electric vehicles. A paper on their work is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. —Mohan et al.

Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

Battery storage. Batteries, the oldest, most common and widely accessible form of storage, are an electrochemical technology comprised of one or more cells with a positive terminal named a cathode and negative terminal or anode. Batteries encompass a range of chemistries. Lithium batteries: the future of storage.

SoCalGas & UC Irvine show power-to-gas technology able to boost use of intermittent renewable energy significantly

Green Car Congress

A 5% blend of hydrogen in SoCalGas’ natural gas system would provide storage capacity equivalent to $130 billion worth of battery systems if purchased at the US Department of Energy future cost of $200 per kilowatt hour. The conversion of renewable electricity to hydrogen enables long-term storage of large amounts of carbon-free power.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

US $5 PER KILOGRAM Cost of green hydrogen today. Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power. Regardless of whether hydrogen or PtX products are being generated, the production islands won’t be directly connected to an onshore power grid, and so they’ll need to operate reliably on their own.
